Can ibs cause anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, I think so.: But this is definitely a two way road! anxiety can most certainly cause gastrointestinal symptoms. I am confident that good psychotherapy would help to relieve the severity of both conditions. I would suggest avoiding medication for anxiety since the side effects of many medications include a variety of gastrointestinal problems. Learn how to live in a well balanced manner and feel better soon.
