Itching

The mouth, lips and throat can also be affected by protein allergies. Itching is one of the symptoms.

Skin

Stomach

The stomach can also experience discomfort. In the worst of cases, vomiting can take place.

Digestive System

Diarrhea is commonly associated with stomach flus and digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome. It is also a symptom of a protein allergy.
