They were my all time favorite junk chocolate... I still eat small amounts of super dark quality chocolate, and I don't notice an increase in swelling or pain or any other issues. 1 stupid PB cup and I was miserable all night--even after trying to eat to correct my blood sugar. I felt nauseous, and had zero energy! I would suspect I'm diabetic, but I've had my blood sugar tested a bunch of times.
No food is worth the improvements in my quality of life I've experienced since changing the way I eat--and I love food. If you think of food that triggers your RSD as a poison, or even treat it with respect like a drug, (which is how my body reacts to it) it'll forever change your relationship with it. I'm sure the meds I'm on play a role as well, btw.
I did say I was done ranting, didn't I?
