Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)

Can one's system get used to otherwise IBS-safe foods that are a trigger?

This is my problem: I can't seem to drink rice milk without an attack. I don't know if it's the rice milk itself, or the fact that it's so cold, but I'm leaning towards the "cold" theory. Most of what I eat is room temperature to hot; I drink "cold" tap water, but cold-from-the-tap and refrigerated-cold aren't the same thing. This morning I had a bowl of Honeycomb with refrigerated rice milk, and within 1/2 hour, I was doubled over with cramps and D.

So... do I force the issue, and keep trying cold things, in hopes that eventually my gut will agree with my brain that it's a good idea? LOL Or do I just accept that I will never again be able to eat cereal with "milk", smoothies, "ice cream", refrigerated beverages, cold pasta salads, etc?

I'm also wondering this because there are a lot of IBS-safe things in general that seem to trigger me - like all of the quick breads and muffins. I'd love to be able to eat them, but they all give me D and cramping. Should I keep trying to eat them? Or just give up?

You can tell I'm feeling better... up till now, I was content to just avoid all those things, and I've literally eaten little more than pasta, bread and chicken for the past month or so. Now I'm getting bored with that and I want to eat tasty things, but I can't seem to eat anything!
