I have heard the same thing about chocolate but cant say it really affects me!! I absolutely love chocolate and dont know what I would do without it some days!!! I always seem to use chocolate to comfort me when the pain is really bad - I am a huge stress and comfort eater!!!!

I have just started drinking coffee and love it but only have a bit of it as it can give me a headache if i'm not feeling too good. I drink maybe a cup a day to try and wake me up and maybe one during school but that is about it at the most.

I really think it depends on the indivual as to how you react. Everyone is different when it comes to dealing with this illness. Personally though, I cant say I notice a difference in pain if I drink coffee or have some chocolate - I just try and limit how much I have.
