a little acidic stool may indicate a carbohydrate malabsorption , but it's important to know her birth weight, her current weight now and if she is gaining weight or stop since a period of time .
sometimes this is temporarily due to change in the colon mucosa by an infection or the use of antibiotics .
anyway , vomiting medications is quite common in children because if it's taste and possible irritation of the stomach .
if stool analysis and culture shows nothing , it's a viral illness and it pass with no consequences.
for the stool PH, you need to cut carbs for a little period of time and give her breast milk instead , some probiotic may help like : super multidouphlus drops for 10 days ., then try again , if no symptoms appear then there is no reason to do the test .
I hope this helps
