My GI Dr suggested I take Lexapro (a drug for anxiety because the brain and the gut interact with each other. It has helped my IBS-C because I am able to relax more now when I go to the bathroom and has allowed me to have less anxiety. I’m also following a low FODMAP diet which helps.

Hi,
Any anxiety or depression drugs I have been prescribed only made me worse, infact irrational and aggressive. For some unknown reason they work in reverse for me.
I found accepting my diseases and the limitations they place on me brings relative calm.
You are correct what we eat is what the brain lives on, so it is important to look after oneself, as best you can.
Cheers
