No: Not that I know of. If you are having GI distress it would be prudent to see your Primary Care Physician or a specialist Gastroenterologist for history, examination, and appropriate testing. If required, referral to a specialist Allergist will be made. Also, inform the General Dentist or specialist Orthodontist of your symptoms so he/she can communicate with your physicians.

While there are people who are allergic to nickel, the symptoms you describe are not common.

If the person has stomach pain from eosinophilic gastritis. Will such pain respond well to ppi's/antacids due to reduction in gastric acid with their help. Or the pain will not be relieved till the allergen is detected and eliminated?
