Apes,
Just to add that I have no issues with citrus either, although I restrict dairy (especially warm melted cheese) & too much pure orange juice (as vinegar & spicy foods) can sting on occasion when passing out! but I eat lots of Bio yogurt. Chocolate causes me no issues, in fact a good dark chocolate brand, high in cocoa, contains some magnesium, which helps produce softer stools, so I relish the fact it creates this effect!! It's a challenge figuring out what works but keeping a food diary really helps too.
