Forty-three children were studied. All had allergies and peptic ulceration. Twenty-five of them had a demonstrated niche on roentgenological examination. The "functional" stomach ache, often observed in allergic children, might be explained by the organic changes. It is postulated that these changes are influenced by the action of the chemical mediators, liberated during allergic reactions and by multiple accompanying allergies of childhood.
