I have GERD, IBS, a stomach ulcer, and scoliosis.
Are there any supplements for anxiety that don't interfere with said conditions?
Some natural remedies that I have used:
Chamomile, Passion Flower, Lavender, L-Theanine (amino acid), exercise, meditation, medicinal cannabis, managing blood sugar levels, getting plenty of healthy fats.

Xanax can do real damage over time.

But all of this is symptom management. I would investigate, in a truly holistic and integatrive way, what is behind all this. Most mainstream docs cannot do this, they are all specialists and mostly inept. Try naturopathic doctors.

And given your GI problems, I'd start there. The gut is everything to health.
Thanks for this!
