Drinking Chocolate Powder (60% Cocoa) and IBS: what to know
For IBS meal comparisons, note the dry mix used in the cup rather than only the mug size. This powder contributes its own lactose and fructans at the larger references, independently of milk added later. A low portion for the mix does not establish the finished drink's rating or predict your individual response.
Gut-friendly ways to eat drinking chocolate powder (60% cocoa)
Weigh the powder into a cup or small jug before mixing. Follow the product directions, and check the milk or milk alternative at the amount used. If making an iced version, adding ice changes the volume but does not remove the powder. In a shared batch, stir thoroughly and calculate the mix per serving, including any extra topping.
