It's very likely some kind of allergic reaction.

It could be either. A lot of times it is food. I try and stay away from foods that have wheat, corn and gluten as the wheat and gluten can be allergens, and corn just passes through and causes bulky movements.
On the other hand with all the rain and stuff we've had there could be stuff coming from the groundwater that's irritating her. I would certainly talk to the vet and I'm sure they will advise a course of action - possibly starting with a mild antihistamine to see if that helps relieve it. If it does then that will confirm the allergy and you can investigate further.
