i myself do believe the weather affects the process of remission and relaps. i have been diagnosed with crohns for 12 years and the first 8 years i lived in wv. during this time i was always sick. in 2009 i moved to S.C where i found myself in complete remission after 3 months of living there.I never had a relaps.in 2011 i moved back to Wv in only 6 months i am now in full blown relaps. i had just had a colon check when i left sc at MUSC and the doctor told me there was absolutly no sign of any crohns. now i have to have another one. this time i know that there will be lots of crohns.

Weather? by: Anonymous
I have no idea if weather has an impact on the disease, although we are having a spell of very warm weather and he is having a flare up. I don't think medication is working as he has flare ups almost every month.

weather and crohns disease by: Anonymous
I know weather effects my Crohns Disease. I have been living with it for almost 20 years. When teh weather gets cloudy, damp and/or cold I feel horrible. I have lived in SF, Maui and now VA while living with Crohns. The most healthy I ever felt was when I lived in Maui. Dry, warm, sunny weather works best for me. Everyone is different and is effected differently.

Seasonal allergies adding to my flare up by: Anonymous
I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease 3 years ago. We recently moved from a dry climate to the very damp/humid climate of Minneapolis. I have been very healthy -- no allergies for 6 years in our previous location. I have been here four weeks and my allergies kicked in full force about three weeks into it along with a flare up. I really feel that seasonal allergies could have something to do with this flare up.

Weather and Crohn's by: Susan
I've had Crohn's Disease for twenty-three years. For most of them, I notice that things act up quite a bit in the fall when there is a real change in weather here in New England. It's kind of like seasonal allergies.... the diarrhea gets much worse.
