Anxiety does not cause IBS. It is an IBS trigger.

IBS is believed to be caused by a miscommunication between the gut and the brain. An inflammation in the bowel wall or a unbalanced bacterial flora in the bowel are possible causes of the miscommunication. Some probiotics such as Align have an anti-inflammatory which is believed to be one of the possible ways for managing IBS for some people.
