I'm the one who said I can eat a very small amount of dairy once a day max, but that cold triggers a bad IBSD episode. That is cold soy icecream or cold soy choc milk. I hate to think what cold dairy would do. I only posted this because others were mentioning eating icecream and I wasn't sure if they had thought about the temperature rather than the food. I had hoped it might help someone else. I'm fairly new here (since Jan 2008) and am following the diet quite strictly, am much better than I have ever been before, on a great probiotic which helps, take 10g of acacia every day and am learning heaps. There are a couple of things on the diet which don't bother me in small quantities but I wouldn't call myself stable yet - it hasn't been long enough to be sure and I am still struggling with anxiety which I think is affecting me the most at the moment.
