Serving size, prep, and portion notes for milk chocolate
The main trigger in milk chocolate is the milk. It grades high in lactose and very high in dairy protein (casein and whey), on top of the histamine that rides along with any cocoa. Unlike plain dark chocolate it is pro-inflammatory and not vegan, so for many people a reaction to milk chocolate is really a dairy reaction wearing a chocolate wrapper.
Watch for
High in lactose and very high in dairy proteins, so bloating, congestion or eczema after milk chocolate is usually the dairy talking / High in histamine and a histamine liberator from the cocoa content / Pro-inflammatory, and may contain gluten from added ingredients or shared lines, unlike plain dark chocolate / Lower in oxalate and caffeine than dark chocolate because it holds less cocoa
