Give Willow my sympathy - I, too, have stopped in the middle of the meal and rushed, well, maybe not to the door, but the idea is the same. Sounds like the gastrocolic reflex to me. And read Heather's book for her story about having to abandon a lobster dinner.
Yes, cold food can bother some people. I do fine with it, but perhaps Willow does not and since she can't actually explain herself, I'd say try room temperature.
This is going to sound really crazy, but have you tried the other standard IBS stuff, like herbal teas and an SFS? You'd have to check with her vet, but an SFS in particular has made a world of difference to me.
HTH. Good luck.
