No, food alone usually doesn’t cause a urinary tract infection, though low fluid intake and bladder irritants can make symptoms feel worse.

Yes, rich cocoa bars can loosen stools in some people, mainly from caffeine, fat, sugar alcohols, or large portions. Dark chocolate does not send everyone running to the bathroom.

No, the package points to enriched white hominy grits, not a whole-kernel stone-ground product.
