Headaches From Chocolate

by Judy

I seem to get headaches from chocolate. Do mm's have real chocolate in them? Are there any carob mm's out there?

What little carob candies are there? With or without peanuts - I like both. :)

Thank you,

Judy

Hi Judy,

M&M's do contain real chocolate and I have never seen any carob M&M's although that would be a great idea for the company to try, wouldn't it?

Some people do get headaches from chocolate. Thankfully, I am not one of them! :)

Carob candy is probably a good alternative for you.

Carob does not contain the caffeine, nor some of the other ingredients that are naturally found in chocolate.

You can buy carob maltballs candy at the Candy Warehouse and there are a couple of other choices I found and have listed on the carob candy page. I hope you'll find something yummy there to try.

You can also make your own carob covered nuts or raisins just by purchasing the carob at Candyland Crafts, gently melting it and covering your favorite treats - nuts, raisins, pretzels, etc.

Hope that helps! Enjoy. :)

Carob candy
by: Judy

Thank you Angie for answering my question. I love MM's and I can't seem to eat them anymire without getting a migraine.
So I was hunting for carob candies and I appreciate your insights.
Thank you so much.

Chocolate Headaches

Hi Judy,

Glad to help. What a shame that you get those chocolate headaches from M&M's. I love them too. I just get fat!!! :)

Unfortunately, even switching to carob doesn't solve that problem - grin.

I hope you'll find that you can really enjoy the carob candy and not feel like you are missing out on treating yourself.

If you decide to give carob a try, let me know which ones you end up getting and how you like them. :-)

Chocolate - Headaches
by: Judy

Still haven't found any MMs with Carob in them. I have looked everywhere. Once in awhile I just have to have chocolate and I pay for it with a headache.
So I eat Carob which satifies me for the moment.
If you hear of anything let me know.

Thanks
Judy

I get chocolate headaches, too, but for some reason, Theo's chocolate from Seattle gives me NO headaches! And believe me, I've tried them all! : ) I love their Hazelnut Crunch bars...a little pricey, but SUCH great chocolate! And no headaches! Good luck, Judy!

Why would I get an instant headache from M&M's but I can eat any other form of chocolate and not be bothered?

Headache from M&M's

Perhaps there is a particular ingredient in M&M's that you are reacting to that is not found in other chocolates? Could you be sensitive to one of the colored dyes (from the shell)? It's really hard to say.

I guess you can be very grateful that it isn't ALL chocolate that gives you headaches. That would be very sad to face, at least for me!
