This is a chicken and egg answer. Usually problems with the gut can cause anxiety in the first place through low serotonin production and bacterial imbalance. However external stressors can also produce anxiety/stress, which in turn makes the bacterial and serotonin situation worse, causing even more anxiety. By lowering stress and anxiety through meditation, chi gong, breath exercises, yoga or any other calming activity, healing will start to take place and feelings of anxiety will likely lessen. Also, healing the gut through nutrition or taking allergens/sensitivities and sugar out of the diet can also ease anxiety.
