I have to run to work here, but it is tied into anxiety.

These are worth reading.

The Neurobiology of Stress and Emotions

This ties into IBS.

And this

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Clinical Issues
Adapted from a radio interview conducted by Bob Enteen, host of Living Without Limits, with Douglas Drossman, MD, UNC Center for Functional GI and Motility Disorders at Chapel Hill North Carolina

"What would be an example of new understanding?
Well one example is that we're starting to understand how the brain is responding to the pain in IBS. There have been some studies done where they've artificially created a kind of an irritable bowel by placing a balloon to stretch the bowel, and that produces pain. Then they've compared people with IBS to non-IBS, or "normal" individuals. And what they've found is that when you stretch the bowel-and use PET scans to monitor the response-in normal individuals, certain areas of the brain that register pain respond and release chemicals called neurotransmitters that suppress and lower the pain. But it seems that doesn't happen as well in people with IBS. In fact, in people with IBS another area of the brain responds that is associated with anxiety. So what we find is that people with IBS, aside from having a bowel problem, may have some difficulty in terms of the way their brain is regulating the pain."

The prefrontal cortex is overactivated and deal with emotions and anxiety.

Also you can get depressed from just having and living and coping with IBS, it is depressing to live with a chronic gut problem like IBS.
