Yeah, you can be allergic to chocolate, which is also in the same family as coffee, if I remember correctly - I read something about it just recently in a book about allergies.

oh my l do get sick from chocolate but as bad as you get that checked out take a alergy test

 

[JohnPeter]

Yes, certainly. One can be allergic to chocolate. Actually, chocolate is quite a complex substance, and your daughter may be allergic to an ingredient in it, as someone else has said already.

If your daughter is not allergic to dairy, then we can safely rule out her being allergic to the tiny amount of milk found in chocolate...

I am allergic to chocolate. When I eat it, I get really bad hives. You should take her to see an Allergy and Asthma Specialist to have skin tests done. That is what I did.

Hi susiesmommy!
I gave up chocolate 10 years ago this Easter! Yep! And I give God ALL the credit!
I did a study on chocolate and coffee and cola.
I do have info for chocolate, it's allegies and on coffee.
Chocolate comes from the cacao plant (seed). Cocoa is the dried and partically fermented fatty seed of the cacao tree.
Chocolate allergies are rare. Most are allergic to the other ingredients added to chocolate.
Coffee is prepared from roasted seeds of a coffee plant.
2mian species are:
Coffee arabica and Coffee canephora.

i have heard of chocolate allergies! I have a slight allergy to mint&spearmint flavor in some brands- i just feel sick after eating two pieces-not all brands though.

Some people i know are allergic to Pineapple flavoured chocolate.

Try a few different brands-Maybe white, Dark, Milk-many different flavours, chocolate with nuts and try them a few weeks apart!

The flavoured and Nuts chocolate I'll guess are more likely to cause Allergies-than the plain Dark, Milk &White chocolate.

I'ts been a while since I looked this stuff up, I didn't even know that the Kola nut is no longer being used?!!!!!
The 1 allergie that runs through all these seems to be "Theobromine". Headaches maybe?
I know my friend is allergic to diet drinks or anything with aspertane (sp?) in it. It gives her a migraine.
