I'm starting to wonder if my seasonal allergies may play a role in my tummy problems. My allergies force me to swallow more air and postnasal drip than normal, so I wonder if they could be causing bubbles in my tummy. When I think about it, my last major flare-up started after a few days of severe allergy problems.I know Kathleen is a fellow allergy-sufferer... Do you think that the air-swallowing aspect is a component of it? Perhaps the postnasal drip can even explain some of the mucus?

I don't know that it is air swallowing, but my IBS tends to be worse from the physical stress of allergies. Even without some direct link like that they can throw my whole body off and make me fatigued, etc.
