I am crazy for chocolate and i've been taking enzymes since I was diagnosed at 3. I had quite a bit of chocolate yesterday for halloween and as long as I took enzymes I've been fine. You just have to be careful that she takes them if she's just munching on a mini chocolate bar since there's so much fat. I've never had a problem with it though, I would think it was the peperoni.

For me, it depends a lot on what type of fat it is. I avoid certain types of oils and fats and do my best to get the good ones. Some oils help my gut while others clearly tear it up.
We made a chocolate cake from scratch last night with healthy fats, like organic butter (and coated the baking pan with coconut oil and flour instead of the shortening and flour I grew up using). Because of my blood sugar issues, when I was married, I informed my husband early on that if he wanted homemade sweets from scratch, he could make them himself. I cooked dinner but he did most of the baking of cookies. If I made a cake, it was from a box and it was probably someone's birthday. I only began using organic butter and stuff like that around 3 years or so ago, so my kids have never had anything before like the cake we made last night. The last couple of years, I haven't even had sugar in my home. We have been working on cleaning up our diets and learning what works for us and in recent months we have been working on developing recipes based on what we have learned as far as food chemistry and which ingredients help our guts and which ingredients screw them up royally.
So making the cake was an adventure and from the start I was telling my son that even if we made some mistakes, this would be the best cake he has ever had. He was skeptical. Then we got the unsweetened chocolate and organic butter melted and the smell was so amazingly good, and different from most store-bought sweets. He has a keen sense of smell, so this really made an impression on him. By the time we stuck it in the oven, he was crowing about how this would be THE BEST CAKE EVER!!!! And it was.
We don't do Halloween these days. My sister says I got my dad's Scrooge genes -- I'm just not big on Holidays generally -- and my kids are grown now. But when they were little, I tried to take them to skate parties and things like that if it was available instead of taking them trick or treating, then I would take them to the store the day after Halloween, when all the Halloween candy was half price, and let them each pick out one bag of a favorite goody. As a kid, I really didn't like the fact that I got so much variety of stuff at Halloween because I simply couldn't eat many of the things I got. My kids were happy with that solution. If my son and I had been diagnosed sooner and if I had known then what I know now about food chemistry and how it impacts us, I probably would have made homemade goodies from wholesome ingredients, like the cake I made last night. I know my kids would have been happy to have personalized traditions that didn't upset their stomachs so much.
Good luck with this.

I didn't have time to read all the posts.....so forgive me if I repeat something. My life CHANGED sooo much when I met my husband. He was on a low-fat diet....not for weight....he is very trim and fit...just for health reasons. I NEVER EVER get those yucky tummy aches I had as a young adult. Chocolate and pepperoni both would send me to the potty the next day. I do cheat though and when I do I cover with my enzymes. You might try turkey pepperoni. My daughter LOVES it. Same spice and texture and not near the fat!! I think it is important for CFers to add good high fat foods and leave the yucky fat in the dust. I don't know why centers don't key on a healthy eating lifestyle for CFers. All fat all the time is not always a great option. If a CFer even has a couple of crummy days in a month from fat they may lose weight cuz it is so hard to want to eat anything on those days. That could spell weight loss that we all don't need and then what good was that added fat. I like foods rich in healthy fat...peanut butter, olive oil, avocados....good stuff that doesn't traumatize my system<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
I know that is probably not very realistic this time of year and I know it is hard to explain to a little one<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

I didn't have time to read all the posts.....so forgive me if I repeat something. My life CHANGED sooo much when I met my husband. He was on a low-fat diet....not for weight....he is very trim and fit...just for health reasons. I NEVER EVER get those yucky tummy aches I had as a young adult. Chocolate and pepperoni both would send me to the potty the next day. I do cheat though and when I do I cover with my enzymes. You might try turkey pepperoni. My daughter LOVES it. Same spice and texture and not near the fat!! I think it is important for CFers to add good high fat foods and leave the yucky fat in the dust. I don't know why centers don't key on a healthy eating lifestyle for CFers. All fat all the time is not always a great option. If a CFer even has a couple of crummy days in a month from fat they may lose weight cuz it is so hard to want to eat anything on those days. That could spell weight loss that we all don't need and then what good was that added fat. I like foods rich in healthy fat...peanut butter, olive oil, avocados....good stuff that doesn't traumatize my system<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I don't have CF, just bronchiectasis, but pepperoni pizza makes even me have greasy, violent diarrhea. I saw someone mentioned donuts and it reminded me of the summer I hit the Dunkin Donuts drive thru every day and had to always stay near a toilet. I am slooooow to admit a problem when the food is yummy.
