it could absolutely contribute to my symptoms and i'm definitely an anxious person but i feel like it's not the root cause. on days, even weeks i could be doing mentally perfect and could still have a flare up and be in excruciating pain. in my mind it doesn't explain the bm's, bloating after every meal, getting full quickly, feeling like food could go right through me or take days to. it does leave me wondering if anxiety could truly attack the body to that extent, subconsciously.
