What about chocolate makes it a trigger? Are certain types of chocolate "safe"? -------------------- Suffering from IBS since February 2006.

(Think candy bars.) However there are a lot of chocolate recipes in the Recipe Index that use cocoa, less fat, no dairy, and no egg yolks. Also once you're stable you may find that you can tolerate a small amount of chocolate candy on a regular basis. If I remember correctly Heather says she has a little piece of chocolate every day and I know I can tolerate some provided I have some Soluble Fiber in me first. -------------------- [Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate. - Sandra Boynton] Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
