I have IBS-D and anxiety really made mine worse. I can handle a little more diet-wise, but fiber supplements DO help even with diarrhea. There is a lot of information on this site I'd really suggest you check it out. Heather explains in detail about soluble fiber and other supplements, as well as the medical aspects of this disorder. Hypnosis really helped me out greatly--check out the Hypnosis for IBS and message boards--the IBS Audio Program 100 can really help out with the anxiety related symptoms (it takes time be patient). Regarding medications, there are many different ones (there is info on this site about the different kinds) and people have different responses to them. For example, I take Levsin (an antispasmodic) and it REALLY is helping me. Good luck, check out this site and keep asking questions--everyone is really great at helping out!
