People who love chocolate but only the good kind

Allergic to chocolate??

Wasnt sure what exactly to post about until about two hours ago..whenever my roommate scared me to death. I was eating a Krispy Kreme donut...glazed with chocolate icing...and I took a drink of my soda. Well not thinking, my roommate, who's unfortunately allergic to all chocolate except white chocolate, takes a drink of my soda. Well needless to say, about ten mintues later her lips swell up and she has trouble breathing. It scared the crap out of me, but in the end she was okay. So the whole point of this post is to talk about being allergic to chocolate. How bad would that be? I know we all buy lots of cakes and stuff for our room, and she can't eat any because she's allergic. She cant enjoy the things we can..like chocolate ice cream, M&Ms, hot chocolate, a plain ol' Hershey bar, chocolate milk...etc. But of course she can eat white chocolate....they have white choclate M&Ms that she eats. I couldnt imagine not being able to any chocolate except white chocolate. As most of you know, white chocolate isn't one of my favorite things in the world. The only kind of chocolate I really like is milk chocolate. So not being able to eat that, would be very upsetting. Also, because so many good things are made with chocolate...she has trouble finding good snacks to eat. It sucks. I never realized how popular chocolate is until I met her. She is constantly turning food down because it contains chocolate. Def couldnt imagine living that way! Anyone know somebody who's allergic to chocolate?

Hey, i know that a lot of people have a certain allergic reaction towards chocolate...I have a friend who has the same problem,and to admit it is very difficult for him to resist to chocolate's temptation.Every time when somebody eats chocolate and offers him a bite he always refuses.He said that his allergy is not lethal but still he tries to keep away from it,and I try not to eat chocolate when he is near just not to make him want a some...
I guess people don't get allergy to chocolate from something they do,but it's rather a genetic issue so they just have to get along with it...

I don't know anyone who is allergic to chocolate but I really feel bad for the people who are. Like, you said, I cannot even IMAGINE being allergic to chocolate. It is one of my most favorite things in the world. After learning about things like this makes me feel sorry for those unfortunate individuals and also makes me appreciate how lucky I am that I do not have any allergies. At least your rommate can eat white chocolate. I would like that, its better than nothing.
