Bad news for sweet enthusiasts: Chocolate can be constipating, although the effect appears to vary from person to person. Research is limited, but one study in the European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology found that chocolate is a major offender.
When patients were asked which foods or beverages caused constipation, chocolate was mentioned most often (chocolate was followed by white bread and bananas). There’s no way to tell if chocolate is contributing to your constipation issues unless you completely eliminate it from your diet for a period of time. Start with two weeks and if your constipation improves, then limit your chocolate intake to special occasions.
