Yes: Swallowing copious sinus drainage could cause irritation in your intestines, causing mushy bowel movements. Try doing saline nasal washes daily during the peak allergy season. It will clear out mucus and debris which collect in your nasal passages and cause irritation and inflammation. You should already be on an antihistamine (claritin or zyrtec) as well as a steroid nasal spray (flonase).
