I have been told by doctors that I have seasonal allergies. I don't have normal symptoms. I don't have have watery eyes, sneezing & & running nose. I just get fluid in my left ear. I was wondering if anyone with allergies have more urgencies during allergy season? I hadn't had any urgencies between November & February. All of a sudden, I have had several urgencies. I have noticed that my stool is a lot more watery. Anyone else out there with the same problem?

Winter, this has been discussed just recently and the consensus is yes! allergies do aggravate our Uc and in fact many of us flare in the spring and fall when the allergens are more abundant. Are you taking any allergy meds yet?

Usually if you can control your allergies, and you are going to flare that it shouldn't be as bad - or at least thats the theory! I know that my Uc behaves itself better if I'm on allergy meds before the allergy season hits.
