Specializes in Internal Medicine

Not just chocolate..: Tootsie rolls have many other ingredients besides chocolate. It is likely that you are reacting to one of the other ingredients. The ingredients of a chocolate tootsie roll are: sugar, corn syrup, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, condensed skim milk, cocoa, whey, soya lecithin, and natural and artificial flavors.
