Can ibs be the cause of me having anxiety? is it possible for me to have anxiety and should i go see a doctor?

Maybe: It can be stressful to have a chronic condition where you may need to find a bathroom often. Most affected adults will learn which foods to avoid and how to scope out available facilities so you are not caught out in public without a plan. I would make a list of your symptoms/aggravating factors & discuss it with your doc. Most do not need medicines to manage, they just need a plan.
