Symptoms of peptic ulcers vary from person to person and with the ulcer’s location. You may have burning or gnawing abdominal pain that's worse at night.

A food allergy is when the body reacts to a protein it thinks is harmful and starts to protect itself. Some of the signs and symptoms are associated with the skin, the gastrointestinal tract, breathing, the heart and blood pressure.
