CHOCOLATE ANYONE?

CASMIRA

Is it just me or does anyone else experience bad problems after eating chocolate....I hadn't taken my copaxone in a few days and I am out of my LDN and NOW I indulge in a reese's peanut butter cup and a chocolate chip cookie and I start having breathing probs....I was having breathing problems before but just didn't connect it with the chocolate....anyone have this problem or it is just me? I am bawling because I can only eat a slight serving of chocolate if at all....Please help and does anyone have any experiences with other foods (i.e. ice cream, milkshakes or regular food, etc.)...THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!!!!

almost killed me a few times. 1998 was a classic MS case, didn't know I was having it. Found out after the DX that chocolate has triggered most all my allergy related attacks.

It's almost a month since I wrote the above link

ok this has nothing to do with chocolate, does your profile hurt your eyes? I think its making me sea sick! lol..Maybe it's not the chocolate. I think God put chocolate here for women and beef jerky for men?

I used to be able to eat a whole bag of hersheys kisses. Now if I eat one it will make me double over with pains in the gut like my stomach is collasping on to itself. Coke's and Coffee do the same thing in that order of hurting.

About six months ago the gastro doc put me on amitriptilyne, and it seems that is allowing me to drink more coffee...never gave it up. Now I sneak a little chocholate every now and then and the degree of hurt is less.

gosh...i use the fake coffee now...I was travelling to South America so much and it became sooo addicted to the caffeine when I got back to the states Starbucks was the only place that came close enough to that coffee and was drinking about 6 cups a day....my heart hated me for it and glad I met my then fiance now husband who got me off the stuff...found out it eats up the heart muscles and so forth....chocolate has caffeine...still mad that I can't eat these freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Sniff!!!

I think that when I eat chocolate in even a small amount I have symptoms of a relapse, so I just decided to stop eating it. I tried some of that mint chocolate candy it is one of my favorites and just a ltttle bit made my hands weak. Now I am finding new decadent eating pleasures. I do not think I could ever give up coffee!

I love chocolate! Another obsession of mine I guess! I used to hate coffee and I only ate a candy bar once a month but now I have to have coffee and chocolate! I hope I don't start having a reaction to chocolate. It would devistate me!

Funny story annie....I was walking down the street and just left Starbucks and had just started dating my now husband and I looked at the huge Venti White Chocolate Mocha no whip Soy with a dash of mint (see I told you I was hooked!!!) and said I must really love him to give up my coffee!!! Love is a powerful thing!!! LMAO...oh by the way I've been 5 years off coffee and still remember what I drank at Starbucks! :}

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
