Yup, yours is the post I was thinking of. I thought it was interesting because I've never been bothered by cold but I'm pretty sure Heather mentions it as a possible problem and I know others who've posted in the past have said they are bothered by it. And - if I remember correctly - you said even a small amount of a cold food would bother you. I do think that was a valuable tip to pass along to others since no one else currently posting seems to be talking about problems caused by very cold foods - or if they are, I've missed it.
I'm glad you're doing so well with Heather's approach and that the probiotics are helping. Anxiety can be really tough and - at least for me - I ended up with anxiety mostly about my IBS which made for a vicious cycle: the worry about it made me more likely to have an attack which made me worry about it more. Have you considered trying the hypno program? It might help with that.
Take care.
