Real information of Acai?

Information about acai berry allergies?

• I started taking this great product called Xocai. It is healthy dark chocolate combined with Acai berries and blueberries. After about a week of using it and not changing anything else in my lifestyle or diet, I developed a red, itchy rash, basically hives. I am so sad because I love this product and the benefits it is supposed to bring to my health. It is full of antioxidants and helps with all kinds of problems apparently. I am allergic to Motrin, Aspirin and Advil - basically all anti-inflammatory drugs. I wonder if because this "healthy chocolate" has anti-inflammatory properties it is in some way related to my allergy. Any help from a nutritionist or doctor would be helpful. I am obviously going to stop eating it and see what happens. Thanks.
