Yes what you say makes sense, I think you don't have to pinpoint whether its the anxiety or the physical act of breathing - its both. I've had ibs a long time now at least 20 years, and I've done enough talk-therapy for now. Now I'm approaching the physical side of things to affect the psychological. It works in both directions.
For instance when I'm getting anxious, my posture is usually rounded fwd a lot. If I work on releasing the muscles pulling me inward and become more upright, I find that my anxiety actually eases a little. Even if the anxiety is about something real that is worrying me. Its somehow harder to be anxious when you don't "embody" it. So I do believe that these things are all interconnected.
