Listen to your gut, don't ask what anyone else's gut has to say. If that is the only change you made then yes your gut does not like that. Keep a list.

In my case my gut does not tolerate cocoa, chocolate or even carob (choc. substitute). :-(
That does not mean my brain doesn't try and talk me into eating chocolate sometimes.

it only got 0.80% cocoa in 1 L pack,is that amount enough to cause problem?

Only trial-and-error will tell you the answer you seek. As individual response varies so wildly person-to-person. My gut is fine with chocolate, but that doesn't guarantee yours is. Some do have problems. It varies.

The issue with targeting a trigger food is that it takes time and discipline. You would need to isolate the food from others and monitor your symptoms for several hours to see if it has any effect on your gut. You'd need to do this for each and every ingredient you put in your mouth and do this for a long period of time to really know whether or not it's causing problems. Most people aren't disciplined enough to do this.

Trigger foods....as in a flare? doubtful from my perspective. Others will disagree.

All depends on what you deem UC related or food related.
