opiates can have that effect, have you ever heard of the heroin itch.

not all opiates do that, and as far as my drug book is concerned, codeine, fentanyl, hydromorphone are among those that don't.. at least, they aren't COMMON side effects.

a sore abdomen, contrary to some beliefs is not a sign of an allergic reaction.
I believe a good way to tell if it's an allergic reaction is to look for a rash. if there's a rash or swelling associated with the itching, it's probably an allergic reaction. if it's due to pharmacological effects, there would not be a rash or swelling involved.
