I got some stearyl alcohol and also see the pellets in my stool. @haidut do you take it with or without food? I tried with.
The pellets are hard to digest but some products come as flakes and those seem to digest quite well.

are you still using this?This is good, you can get smaller amounts and it is more reasonable then Spectrum.
Hello all, I tried eating bar of 90% chocolate Lindt for 4 days. Positive things were that I had alot of energy, motivation and better skin but problem is that I hadnt bowel movement for 3 days. I tried alot of things because I felt increasing pressure inside my belly. Only thing that helped me was high dose of taurine. I was searching and found this. Cocoa Butter- Yes Or No?
I have celiac disease, search for "chocolate constipation ibs", you will find that alot of people with gastrointestinal diseases have problem with chocolate.I doubt that the constipation has anything to do with the fatty acids in cocoa butter. Dark chocolate contains a very large amount of fiber, and I think that is most likely responsible for your symptoms

Sorry, I got it...Yes, and I just said why I think that's so. Fiber is detrimental to anyone with gastrointestinal problems.
Sorry, I got it...
Thank you, thats good idea, I am using beef tallow for stearic acid now but I must find some alternative because I love chocolate.No problem. Maybe you want to try something else than Lindt chocolate. I found that I have no problems with pure, organic cocoa powder (20% cocoa butter) that I mix into my hot milk or homemade ice cream. I think in small amounts the benefits of things like stearic acid, theobromine, etc. should outweight the potential fiber issues for someone with gastrointestinal problems.

One possibility is overwhelming the supply of bile, or maybe it just needs to be cooked in with food. I make fudge with it, have a bit after every meal.First Day:
Ordered SA (white flakes) from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050LKJ6Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I took 1T (10G) at lunch and 1T (10G) at dinner. More like pellets and didn't dissolve easily.
After a few minutes I started to feel a burst of energy that lasted for the next couple of hours. One minor side effect: I have a smaller flaccid hang when my progesterone rises (with too much caffeine) or with undigested material (gelatin), and this happened immediately following lunch.
I then took another 1T with dinner, which was apparently a huge mistake. This was the worst night of sleep that I've had in many months, and the stress response was nearly identical to high-dose niacinamide/caffeine. Heart racing, restlessness and sweating, but zero appetite.
Bowel movement in the morning showed pellets left intact.
I'll try a much smaller dose next time, after I get a day of recovery.
@haidut Any Ideas on what caused this?
