My Chocolate Trial Fail

It'd been 8 months since I've tasted chocolate. I last tried Enjoy Life choc. chips and it wasn't good. But yesterday I was hungry and hormonal and saw that bag and thought what the heck, it's re-trial time! I ate 1/2 ounce and waited a few hours and was fine. So then I went a little crazy (I've been on an extremely limited diet for almost a year, you understand) and ate 6 ounces of choc chips! Holy fazoli I couldn't stop myself, it was like I'd died and gone to a chocolatey heaven!! Well several hours later I had a migraine. And heart palpitations. And my guts felt like lead. And now, a day later, I've got a severe "chocolate hangover", complete with migraine. Oy. Goodbye forever, sweet chocolate. :(

There's no point to this post. I'm just publicly saying goodbye to a dear, dear old friend. :P

Oh hon, sorry! :o

I think you just flooded yourself with too much of a "good thing" that you haven't eaten in a while. Your body is so clean. Either the sugar cane juice or the cocoa was too much and made you jittery. (I have felt this way after those chocolate chips myself and have decided I need to wait a few more months for chocolatey goodness.)

Either that or --you say you are hormonal---is your migraine connected to that? I used to get the WORST migraines just before periods. UGLY!!

I have to say that I can't believe how many food groups you have had to eliminate. I am astonished. :o:blink::o And, in awe.

I feel deprived and I only eliminated soy and dairy with the gluten.

Have you tried to reintroduce ANY of those foods yet?? Just wondering...and hoping that you can eat a wider variety soon!

I've never had a migraine headache, but I know someone who says her headaches are triggered by chocolate. (But she can eat Peanut M&M's.)

I have neurological effects from my gluten intolerance. I avoided soy and dairy for several months, which eliminated virtually all chocolate. Now I can have one or two Hershey's Dark Chocolate Nuggets with Almonds occasionally and I positively swoon over the moon.

(Still avoiding soy and dairy...scared to try again.)

Good luck :)

You could try plain cocoa powder in something to see if it really is the problem. Or switch to carob powder for your chocolcate-like fix. Or just do without, who really needs that stuff anyway? :)

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
