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? :)

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
