I have ibs, is it possible my long lasting effects could get worse due to my anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IBS: can be made worse by anxiety. The gut is sometimes called "the second brain" because they are hardwired together. Please continue to see your doc and consider working w/a mental health pro who deal w/anxiety disorders. He/she can teach you some strategies to help. Peace and good health. See www.relaxationresponse.org for some self-help too.
