What Causes Itching Sensation On Abdomen And Diarrhea?
I ve been having an itching sensation in my stomach toward the top below breasts. I have also had some indigestion sometimes, and dull ache sensation occasionally with some diahrea for the past few days. I have felt the itching sensation before but it seemed to go away. My stomach has been upset somewhat off and on.

Hi,
Food related allergy is the most common cause of itchy abdomen and diarrhea. Antihistamine and proton pump inhibitors should be used tor reduce the symptoms. The causative food should be identified and avoided next time. ORS solution can be taken to avoid dehydration.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
