Can yoga cure IBS

Asked for Male, 32 Years

Hello doctor I have IBS for the last 5 years. I also have depression and anxiety problems bcos of my work and some personal issues. Despite taking many treatments and medications, doctors have clearly said that the only cure for IBS is a change in lifestyle and relief from stress and anxiety. So, I have planned to join yoga as I heard that certain breathing techniques brings the stress and anxiety levels under control. Is it true ? Can regular practice of yoga helps in proper digestion of food and reduce gastritis and IBS ?
