Crohn and allergy

[dfyang123]

I wonder if there is any connection between allergy and crohn's, was there a poll ever be done ?

I am not sure of the answer. There is a section titled Extra Intestinal Manifestations. I wonder if anyone would know over there?

Excerpt from the link:

"It’s not surprising, then, that people with Crohn’s and colitis may be at increased risk of seasonal allergies. A handful of studies have suggested that atopy—an inherited tendency to develop allergies—as well as certain abnormalities in lung function occur more frequently in IBD patients. - See more at: http://www.ccfa.org/living-with-crohns-colitis/tips-to-fighting-allergies.html#sthash.j6yln9MS.dpuf "

I have multiple food, seasonal, and animal allergies and Crohn's disease. Once I was diagnosed with food allergies my inflammation went down, but now I flare during stressful times.

The only connection I know of, is when my allergies are acting up, it makes it harder to stay out of a flare. I guess it's due to my body fighting allergies on top of the CD.

I use to have severe seasonal allergies - hay fever. I was not told of a tie to Crohn's, but after I had my resection, my allergies went away. I am convinced the surgery, which was 5+ years ago, cured my allergies. I am sure there is a relationship there.
