I don't think I've ever heard of anyone having IBS *just* from an anxiety-related disorder, but something like claustrophobia and episodes relating to it can definitely have an effect on IBS symptoms. The best advice I can offer is to follow the IBS diet (which calms down the physiological aspects of IBS - see the "Diet" link in the left-hand menu), and also address your claustrophobia/anxiety issues - therapy, medication, hypnosis, whatever you need to do to tackle the problem. In my experience with my own anxiety disorders, my IBS symptoms improved DRASTICALLY when I finally did something to help the anxiety.

Good luck... and welcome to the boards!
