I want the health benefits but don't want to ruin my stomach, how much is the correct amount to have every day?

All I have read says "one chocolate." I guess that could be taken to mean a piece about the size of a chocolate, maybe one inch by one inch? They make dark chocolate that has very little sugar in it. It doesn't taste all that great, but if you're taking it for health's sake, it wouldn't be too bad and it shouldn't hurt your stomach. I can't remember the brand name, but you should be able to find it.

I try to keep a Hershey's dark chocolate bar in the fridge and grab a piece like once a day. When my sweet tooth does want more I eat one more. I curb it with maybe a second for dessert. The less sugar the better. I never thought that was an option. I will definitely look for a brand with less sugar. Thanks for the comment :)

You're welcome. I remember that I found it at Walmart one time. It comes in a large bar, like the large Hershey's bar.
