Hot food versus cold food

[tamesis]

Does anyone find that hot foods irritate more than cold food? I used to love to eat while my food was piping hot, but have been finding that hot drinks and soup are quite irritating.

Yes, I have found this also...A hot cup of tea use to be my comfort when ill with colds etc...But with a flare cold things like gingerale and cold applesauce always made me feel better....I have always wanted to study more of Chinese medicine and their theories of hot and cold foods related to healing...I don't know much about it and I think they have different ways of classifying what is a 'hot' and what is a 'cold' food.....Another one for The Bucket List.....

I rarely drink whilst eating, hot or cold, because of temperature changes, if they are too drastic it is a recipe for a potential gas pain craze for a couple of days. I never drink water or juice ice cold. I try to drink my water either before my meal or half hour later. Then I dont get bloat.

Room temperature is always the best for me. Any temperature change starts things moving too fast.
