Chocolate/Icecream and Crohns?

[Josh]

Hey everyone!

Who out there can eat chocolate? is anyone gonna miss out on thier easter chocolate today ?

I was just diagnosed with crohns 5 months ago and i have tried eating chocolate.. Just in small amounts and iv seemed to be fine.

Im actually addicted to oreo mcflurrys from mcdonalds or oreo blizzards lol. If im driving by and see a mcdonalds or dairy queen i always stop lol. Its horrible. and it always gives me the worst gas/weird stomach movements.. Like everything in my intestines is just swishing around all day and night..

How does everyone else react to chocolate or icecream like that?

I can eat chocolate in small amounts, but can not tolerate mcflurries or blizzards... i get that gassy/uncomfortable feeling from them, too. i'm not really sure if mcdonalds or dairy queen use 'real' ice cream, it's a jumble of 'milk ingredients' and other additives... kind of a 'frankencream'... for frozen desserts i stick to frozen yogurts and high quality ice 'cream' and seem to do well with those.

i can't even go near ice cream lol it turns my insides into hell lol but I do eat some chocolate, only 80% and higher dark cacao though, milk chocolate doesn't sit well super dark chocolate is a acquired taste but I love it and its good for me , in small amounts of course

lol yeah stleg ice cream is a killer but im addicted lol

I cannot have ice cream. period. But I have found that I can tolerate Frozen yogurt in small amounts...so that's been my substitute.

I've recently discovered my body's dislike for Chocolate...it makes me sad, but I guess it's just the way it goes sometimes. I'm having a hard time not eating it, since it's EVERYWHERE in my house right now...so I do sneak a few pieces...but I have to stay away from it for the most part.

Sucks, hey?

damn it looks like ice cream is gonna have to be ruled out of my diet.. It is giving the worst gas EVER
