Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of frequent bowel movements which could be due to irritable bowel syndrome, gastroenteritis, giardiasis, poor metabolism of body, lactose intolerance, and food poisoning. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to give child proper rest and avoid intake of any sharp, spicy and oily food. You should take over the counter anti histamine twice a day like benadryl , take antacid after every meal , take small and frequent meal. You should avoid lying down immediately after having food. If condition doesn't get well then consult pediatrician for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe omeprazole along with laxative. You should take oral rehydrating solution in diet.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
