A member asked:

Can benadryl (diphenhydramine) cause the cause gerd, stomahe aches stomache polyps, constipation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not typically: The only one of those that i would think would be due to Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is the constipation, since Benadryl (diphenhydramine) has a "drying" effect on the body.
