It’s worth noting that the IBS-like symptoms are specifically diarrhea and this is just in a mouse model.

So it may extend to constipation as well in humans or not but if you’re experiencing constipation, this may be unrelated.

I'd strongly suspect it would hold. For several years now, the treatment guidelines (specifically Rome IV) call for talk therapy and antidepressants as first-line treatment for IBS. I think this paper is just fleshing out the edges of what we already know.

I absolutely expect it to as well. It’s the diarrhea-only part that I find so interesting.
