I don't have IBS, but I have noticed that I feel a strong, deep sense of anxiety when my pipes are backed up, and it instantly goes away when I go number 2.

If you’re backed up sort of often you should beware of diverticulitis. It occurs in younger and younger people today. It’s not too strange to see a person in their early 30’s having a partial colectomy (or worse) nowadays.
