Another thread on hot flashes: triggers
I was reading through some of the threads on hot flashes, and I noticed that some ladies find that chocolate can trigger them. (And I was eating Dove chocolate-covered cranberries at the time. Hmmm.)
I've been indulging in a fair amount of chocolate lately, so I'm going to go cold-turkey to see if it helps. But I'm wondering, for those of you who have found that certain foods or drinks make the flashes worse -- how long after eating or drinking the trigger do the flashes occur? Is it pretty much an immediate cause-effect thing, or more that things you eat/drink during the day are affecting you hours later?
Thanks!!
