We probably won't know the right answer to that question for a few decades from now.

Once fecal microbiota transplantation becomes a thing (for IBS/Chron's/C. difficile colitis patients) and we collect longitudinal data of donors and recipients over a span of decades will we have a probable answer to that question.

My gut feeling is yes though.

Too much sleep is likely also causation, but in the other direction.

I'm in camp causation.. but I think the illness is affecting your sleep patterns and not the sleep patterns mkaing you sick.

Yeah, if the is one thing I know for certain, it is that big pharma hates making decision based on what stands to generate more profit.

Reply to Anxiety can be created by the body, mouse heart study suggests by halebounddr

There is a difference between sympathetic nervous system arousal and 'anxiety,' per se. Anxiety is an emotion and always has a cognitive and behavioral component.
