    Default chocolate = pooping?!

    i totally love chocolate. i mean love it. ive never had one single issue with eating it. about a week or so ago, i ate some m&ms. im talking a handful. 20 minutes later i was doubled over in pain. I assumed it was from some greasy pizza i had . had earlier.

    next night i had some m&ms ..again a handful after i had a tukery burger. i was doubled over in pain in about a half hour .

    anytime after that , that i've eaten m&m's since same ole thing happens. within 20 minutes of eating it , im running to the bathroom.

    i have no idea why this just came about. and yes the m&m's are from different bags. so its not like i got a bad batch or whatever.

    Does anyone have issues with chocolate? my bf told me a lot of people can't handle it. they get headaches etc. which i've also heard of. But m&m's moving my bowels?!

    ive now decided to keep a bag around incase i get backedup lol. because it work instantly.

    im wondering though if there is something in them that are effecting my stomach? i have never eaten anything that bothered me the way this is. very odd 'shit' no pun intended.

    Chocolate triggers my IBS. For some reason, Toblerone and Symphony bars are the worst. I get cramps and the acid shits.

    It can also turn your poo green. I found out as a child on easter sunday after a basket of chocolate.

    Anyways, you could be developing some sort of intolerance to chocolate. What about dark chocolate; does it have the same effect on you? Maybe eating better quality wont hurt you so much.

    both of you guys point out some interesting things. first off, im either always constipated or the "acid' shits as krazy put it lol. I never have a normal inbetween. i take supplements that "sometimes" help. so maybe its triggering ibs? I never thought of that though.

    I can't drink milk at all anymore. one small glass makes me bloat up so bad im in pain. then it results into a rather unpleasent evening.

    i think over the years because i didnt drink milk i've developed a lactose intolerance in a small way.

    i'll try the dark and see if that makes a difference. im a fan of white chocolate on pretzels...maybe i'll spend a day experimenting with chocolates lol

    well-- m&m's are crappy chocolate. And so is the chocolate covered pretzels. Obviously, I'm sure you've looked into your fiber intake already. I'd be curious how you like/handle the 80%+ pure chocolate bars. Does it make it worse, or better? If worse, then yeah-- increased intolerance of cocoa, but you can get loads of chocolate flavored things that don't necessarily have the cocoa bean in it. What it DOES sound like is an increased intolerance of crappy chocolate-- since you love it so much-- do this:

    look at the ingredients of m&m's and write them down. then same with the chocolate covered pretzels and what not. What a lot of people fail to realize is that a lot of the taste in cheaper foods is made in a lab (referenced from Fast Food Nation-- check out the lab chapter.) So you may not be having a reaction to "chocolate" but all the chemicals that go along with what we think of as "chocolate."

    I would compare as you go up the scale towards better crafted chocolates that have less chemical ingredients.

    Do you have any reactions to cocoa butter, or any cosmetic item that has chocolate scented/tasty stuff in it, i.e. lipsmacker type items, perfumes, chocolate soaps/shampoos/lotions? I'm sure some of these items share the same chemical ingredients that are in the cheap chocolate things you eat....so it'd be interesting to narrow that down.

    It's funny how our body changes. I grew allergic to kelp cosmetic items after using it a bunch and suddenly one day my face broke out in a mad rash. I also have another friend who's allergic to chocolate....but she always was. She'd break out in a rash and start to have a swelling around the neck and face. Still would eat it like crazy though. What can I say? She wasn't the brightest bulb in the garden patch.

    At least this gives you carte blanche to get the good stuff (probably.)

    Through Sunday. I'ts my first time in Chicago (other than the airport), so I wanna see the Windy city! I'll be traveling with a dude. But he'll be totally ditched when/if you and I hook up, lol

    Other than the play, we're gonna catch a Cub's game, and maybe spend some money at a stipclub or two..YAYYY!!!!

    Oh and on topic, Chocolate does the same thing to me. I'm no scientist, but I think the cheaper the chocolate, the quicker it stimulates my bowels! If I wanna boo-boo, coffee & chocolate all the way!!!!

    odd factoid: there are diet chocolates out there...I don't know if they're non-sugar, non-carb, or non-fat. I think they're billed under low or non carb. Anyways the chemical that is in that makes EVERYONE go. My cousin was on a plane and ate a pack of em and had to run for the bathroom like twenty minutes later.

    ^ yah that's what i was thinking too when about the chocolate.

    well we will hang ! thats for sure. i work right downtown so you guys can come in there too at some point. the rest are full nude ( the entire other two lol ) and no drinks there.

    but you dont have to ditch the dude if you wanna hang, i can drag my bf with and we can go to dinner one night. he ( my bf ) lives over by the cubs stadium so either way its fine. hopefully by April when you get here i'll be settled into my new digs.

    You sound very similar to what I was going through when I first got IBS. Milk intolerance, chocolate intolerance, oscillating between constipation and diarrhea.

    My IBS came out of the blue two years ago and is still here. You can try helpforibs.com and see if the symptoms fit

    Do you have this problem when you eat m&m's on an empty stomach? The problem sounds like bad food combining. Dumping sugar, in the form of desserts or sweets, on top of a meal, especially one high in protein, can cause diarrhea. I know this happens to me when I do this.

    Wait a few hours after a meal before eating sweets. If you haven't had a problem with eating chocolate on it's own, and on an empty stomach, you don't have an allergy. Chocolate also contains caffeine, which stimulates the bowels.

    ^ not to post every 10 seconds., but whatever. i only have the issue when i've already eaten a meal. doesnt seem to matter what it is though.

    And it doesnt seem to matter when i had eaten food unless it was the night before ( and i walk by the candy dish and take a handful. ) Its just odd to say the least. but I knew it had caffeine just didn't think it would be enough to stimulate.

    ^^^^^^
    Sounds like the same problem I have, then. I just avoid desserts after a meal. When I go out to dinner, I will have a dessert---but only because the glass of red wine I have with my meal aids in my digestion. Red wine = no diarrhea! Yay to no diarrhea!

    Maybe it's the tannins in red wine that have the binding effect. Dealcoholized red wine would also work then. Maybe even a high-quality concorde grape juice. Check your health food store for brands with no added sugar. Or, no sweets for Tart unless on an empty stomach!
