Sounds like the old chicken or the egg conundrum. I am now of the firm belief that whether we realize it or not the anxiety comes first and then it becomes a vicious circle. As I said in my last post the best thing I have found for anxiety is the TEA form exercise as they turned my life around and I still use them. I recommend the CBT book by Sam Obitz http://www.tao3.com which does a nice job of outlining how to do them.
Good luck and I hope you feel better soon :)
Though I never got checked out for IBS, I did have stomach problems and diarrhea a lot before I got my anxiety under control. Like others have said it could be coincidental, but I don't think so personally. I would highly recommend trying the TEA forms if you have anxiety and stomach issues.
WW, that's very similar to what I used to go through. So glad you are over that too now :D

It does take a village... You are way too modest though. I always look forward to your posts and the wisdom and humor in them too :P
