actually, they are linked. it’s similar to how some people with asthma also suffer from allergic rhinitis or atopic dermatitis. how are they linked? excessive stress/anxiety has been linked to increased incidence of peptic ulcer disease and acid rflux. your anxiety may not be the sole cause of your reflux, but it may exacerbate it. stress and anxiety can also trigger symptoms of IBS. the most common mental ailment that people with IBS suffer is generalized anxiety disorder. IBS is related to an immune dysfunction which may be triggered/exacerbated by stress or anxiety.
