dark chocolate is good for your heart in small quantities. Maybe eat it earlier in the day so it's good to sleep? (preventing GERD)

I'm afraid giving up chocolate is something I will never do. I've got a monkey on my back in the shape of a huge cocoa bean.

I am in BIG TROUBLE

I think you'll find it's the caffeine in chocolate that does that as coffee has the same effect. Perhaps you can find low caffeine chocolate.

Back in in my 40s my OBGYN told me that craving chocolate might indicate I was needing magnesium. I asked him if maybe he could just write me a script for Reeses Peanutbutter Cups and then I could put them on my Schedule A itemized deductions-medical. He didn't even smile, NO sense of humor but a good doc. Anyway I did start a magnesium supplement and the craving went away. I still loved chocolate but I was not driven to kill for it.
As to heartburn, try indulging early in the day, after exercising or when you won't be doing anything where you bend over a lot.
I'd still eat it but if heartburn strikes take a little bit of baking soda in room temperature water.
The thing to know is if baking soda does not cut the heartburn apple cidar vinegar will. Too little acid can also cause heartburn.

Never bothered mine

That sucks!!

Not a big chocolate fan but a cut up square goes great with a bowl of cereal along with some sliced bananas, fresh blueberries and shredded coconut on top. 92% is the best chocolate for this.

Find another doctor?

Does not upset mine.

My love of chocolate started at the age of 10 when I was allowed to pick my birthday cake. Then I was allowed to pick my own breakfast cereal. Just bought some chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies.

Simple antidote. Do not eat chocolate on a full stomach - and chew a "Rennies" or similar a bit later to reduce stomach acidity.

Hmm... I've never noticed it, but good to know. I seldom eat chocolate, not addicted to it like so many people, so a box of chocolates can last me months.

What a shame! It's one of my favorite food groups as well, so I sympathize. I've had to cut back on a number of other foods, but fortunately chocolate doesn't seem to be causing me any problems. Fingers crossed! Perhaps it's a matter of how much and when you eat it?

Chocolate, or maybe the sugar tends to cause palpitations. I am addicted to chocolate and it's been hard cutting out the chocolate. I will cut it out for a few months, and then relapse.

It can drive your blood pressure up, and a lot of people have allergic reactions causing headaches, sleep problems, and energy loss if they don't top up. And of course it contains a lot of sugar. But then there is range of benefits too.

Yes, it sometimes gives me heartburn, but I love dark chocolate, and it's good for the heart.

If I eat chocolate or drink coffee, I can get migraine headaches. Despite the risk, I'll consume it at times, but I need to have excedrine in stock, just in case.
