Is there a huge, world of difference between raw & organic cocoa, or are they about the same? I bought the organic and have been meaning to take it back, but had cravings yesterday for CHOCOLATE and decided to make RP's brownies - I ate half the recipe! (only a small pan, but still)

I also ate a bunch of guacamole at the same time, and woke up in the middle of the night with stomach pains and this morning they're even worse. Makes me think I'm starting my period or something, it feels like menstrual cramps (but it's not due for another 11 days). By the way, I'm on day 9 of 100% raw for the first time.

Do you think the organic cocoa would make such a fuss to my system? Or was it the weird mixture of guacamole & brownies, or did I just eat too much? I felt my body saying to stop about one piece before I actually did stop, but it's not like I ate sooooo much that I couldn't move afterwards.

Hmmm....or are these brownies just not going to work for me, period? :(

There's a huge difference. Just because something is organic, doesn't mean it's raw. Just look at all the things being sold in the health stores. 99% of it is cooked.
