I scrupulously avoid chocolate & am fine.

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member

Thank you. I think I agree about Zyrtec. As for Benedryl, have you tried colorless? It’s hard to find but it’s bubble gum flavor. I’m just thinking dyes might bother you.

Send them multiple websites about it. I found the gluten free for dummies book for myself in the beginning. Gets a laugh when I try to hand it to them!
