Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Health care magic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Although yes is the possible answer to your question but I like to inform you that other way around is more common.

As per my experience many patients with anxiety have gastric problem. In fact 70% of patients with anxiety disorder have gas problem due to anxiety.

It is possible that with treatment of anxiety, the affected person should feel better in regard to gas.

Hope this helps you.
Feel free to contact me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
