Can ibs-c cause anxiety??? if so will linzess help with anxiety

Sure: Constipation is troublesome and causes distress and anxiety for anyone who is constipated. Thus, it is reasonable to think that any way to resolve and prevent constipation will also relieve the distress and anxiety that comes with being constipated... as long as the treatment isn't causing distressful side effects.
