I could not live without chocolate I love is so much. Sadly I may have no option but to cut it from my diet completely and immediately. The reason is that I think that I might suffer from a chocolate allergy is that whenever I eat it it usually follows that I am rather unwell after it.

After only a few minutes of searching for information about chocolate allergy on the Internet, I could see that a true allergy to chocolate is something of a rarity. The more likely explanation of symptoms would be an allergy (or allergies) to one or more of the other ingredients in my chocolate bar.

If it was discovered that you were actually suffering from what we commonly refer to as a chocolate allergy, you would, in actuality, be suffering from an allergy to cocoa. Accounting for about 65%, or more, of the ingredients of an average chocolate bar, cocoa is the substance that give the bar it’s wonderful flavor and color.

Cocoa can be found in all manner of foodstuffs, from the usual biscuits and cakes to more unusual items. If you find that you are allergic to cocoa you will need to ensure that everything you eat is free from it. As most of us are creatures of habit most of us eat much the same foods each month. So, all you really need to do is check the items in your kitchen cupboards and make a note of those things that contain cocoa. Next time you go shopping see if you can find a suitable replacement. Also if you are purchasing something new check the ingredients first – every time!

Although a chocolate allergy is unlikely to kill you the common symptoms experienced can be very unpleasant and rather alarming. Headaches are closely associated with this problem and other symptoms include an element of confusion or the lack of ability to think clearly. Further common associated symptoms are heartburn/acid reflux, hives and skin rashes, rectal itching and, possibly the most worrying symptoms of breathing difficulties plus the vision can also be effected. Not a pleasant mix at all.

As mentioned earlier, if you think that you suffer from an allergy to chocolate it is important that you check that you are not allergic to other substances first. However, if you visit a local clinic or your family doctor, you will, hopefully, be referred to an allergy specialist. This consultant will test for chocolate allergy and a selection of other allergies. He tests for a number of possibilities as it is very common that people find that they are actually allergic to a number of things besides cocoa.

Once the allergen (the thing you are allergic to) has been identified correctly you will be advised on the best course of action. Some of the symptoms can be easily treated, skin rashes may take a while to clear completely but creams and lotions will help the healing process and speed up recovery. You may also be prescribed some drugs which can work wonders in helping you get better and they may even allow you to enjoy chocolate every once in a while.

If you find that you do have a chocolate allergy do not despair instead you should be positive. Maybe you could avoid chocolate altogether and cut all processed foods from your diet. You will be amazed at how much better you will feel after only a short time of changing to a healthy balanced diet. I wish you the very best.
