I think my anxiety definitely plays a role in what i can tolerate too. For example, if i tell myself that i'm not going to drink coffee ever again and then i do i feel so guilty and anxious about it that my IBS flairs up. But if i don't put such pressures on myself and am more laid back about having a little bit of something then i don't get an attack at all. Stupid mind!!! So, my plan for 2008 is to be a little easier on myself and set more realistic food and IBS goals instead of becoming insanely obsessive about every item of food. Anyhoo... Sorry for my rant.
