Tapering of SSRI treatment to mitigate withdrawal symptoms

IBS (at least some types) are very likely closely related to anxiety disorders (but with a visceral motor component). Low FODMAP has been shown to help, though it’s not clear that it is treating the psychomotor cause , but one of the best interventions is increase in physical activity... similar to GAD.

I want to nip this falsehood in the butt as I am studying this for my PhD.

IBS has many causes one main of is people having an autoimmune disease due to the bodily production of anti-vinculin from molecular mimicry of the toxin causing food poisoning anti-cdtb.

The remaining causes are related to MAST cell destabilization, SIBO, etc. Anxiety is thought to play a role in symptom management in the same way having being anxious about a broken foot will make you foot hurt more.

I have IBS because of severe social anxiety, but I don't have any anxiety because of IBS.
