Re: Chocolate Question       10/11/07 08:38 AM Edit Reply Quote K2 Reged: 01/29/06 Posts: 1191 Loc: Canada Hard chocolate is a digestive stimulant, kinda like coffee. It's great at stimulating the digestive system in normal people, but in IBS can cause too much pain and cramping. Cocoa powder however is safe. I eat tons of chocolaty things made with cocoa powder. Chocolate almond milk is my favorite (chocolate rice milk would be similar) and is very easy on the stomach. Try warming it up for some nice hot cocoa. Also, cocoa in baked products is safe, just make sure the other ingredients are. Lots of recipes on here for brownies and cakes. Heather's peppermint fudge cake is so far my favorite. If you find cocoa products are still bothering you then maybe you have an intolerance to cocoa itself. Do you only notice problems with hard chocolate? -------------------- Kat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
