I was able to take codeine all my life then about 2 years ago I was in the hospital and they gave me some codeine cough medicine and with in ten minutes I started to swell up and was covered with a rash, so yes you can have a bad reaction to codeine. You might be having a mild reaction now but in the future it could get worse please be aware.

yes, you can be allergic to anything, I can't take codeine it causes me abdominal pain also, it's pretty strong stuff. If the doctor prescribes T'3s I ask for something else or just take advil for the pain.

Narcotic's are known to cause stomach problems. Allergic reactions are usually rash, difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat or tongue. However there are many other side effects that it can cause. Talk with your doctor, if it something that you need to take he may prescribe something like Previcid to help control the stomach problems.

Abdominal pain is one of the side effects of codeine. Take it with food.

Yes my husband is severely allergic to it and his throat actually starts to close. I would call your doctor before taking anymore.

My husband had a severe reaction to it and he ended up in the ER by ambulance. In order for him to take it now he has to take half a dose. I would talk to your doctor about it. They can give you an RX for something else or change the dose so that it doesnt give you pain seems its for getting rid of pain.

It always upsets my stomach but I think that's characteristic of opiates.
