I have a headache problem with chocolate. It’s the theobromine in the chocolate that causes the veins in the head to narrow. To get the theobromine out of my system, I left off chocolate completely for about 6 yrs. After that, it was cleaned out of my system; then I gradually could have a LITTLE BIT of chocolate. The trick is to keep it at just a small amount on a weekly or bi-weekly basis; and if the nagging headaches start up that’s my cue to back off for a couple of weeks. I like it, and have found a way to manage it. It takes being cautious which is not hard; the headaches initially were horrible; and the several years off did me a lot of good. 6 yrs. may have been overkill; but I wanted to be sure.
Thanks for the advice!
