Hi Lyndon,
I've known Bhikkhus who eat after noon on medical advice. Perhaps there are some bhikkhus or bhikkhunis out there somewhere who would apply the letter of the vinaya over medical advice, but that's speculation.

Chocolate is an exception to the No-eating-after-noon rule?

When I first went on retreat to a Thai Forest monastery I was worried about the lack of an evening meal and took a secret stash of chocolate.
As it turned out they provided us with cheese and chocolate at tea time. I think it was dark chocolate.
