**Cacao Contraindications**
Generally, cacao is safe and for my ceremonies I only use a small dose of 25g per serving
Some people may develop a headache or nausea, particularly at higher doses of over 25g, in part because cacao can be dehydrating. Drinking plenty of water will help.
Anti-depressants
Certain anti-depressants are worth extra consideration. MAOI based anti-depressants are contraindicated with the tyramine in chocolate.
There has been some concern with larger doses of cacao and SSRI type anti-depressants, because of the MAOI's in cacao, specifically, tryptophan. Lower doses of cacao like 25g and less regularly are more likely to be tolerated without issue.
Usually, patients taking relevant meds will have been given specific advice on foods to avoid or limit.
Heart conditions or blood pressure challenges
The theobromine in cacao can increase heart rate significantly and is a vasodilator, lowering blood pressure. If you have such a condition, consider consulting a physician and certainly go lighter on amounts.
Water retention medication
It should be noted at this point as something to be aware of. Cacao can act to dehydrate the body and so this can interact with water retention medications. Start with a lower dose of perhaps 10g and carefully observe how it affects you.
Sensible advice for everyone when consuming cacao is to keep hydrated.
Pregnancy & breastfeeding
Like coffee or tea, it is important to reduce the intake of stimulating foods. The theobromine in cacao, which is similar to caffeine, has a stimulating effect although much milder than caffeine. A lower dosage or 10-25g is suggested.
If in doubt, check...
Obviously, none of this is to be considered medical advice. If in doubt, check with your physician
