Sensitivity: It sounds like you have developed a chocolate sensivity. Once you eat this it causes an inflammatory response that leads to "dumping" syndrome. There is an oral or sublingual medication that can help with the cramping and other symptoms but allergy testing may be a better option to treat the underlying cause
