hi , a complete physical exam and detailed history is helpful in her case , non specific symptoms like headache , back pain and abdominal pain are associated with variety of illnesses and possible vitamins and minerals defficency .
celiac disease will cause symptoms of decrease weight and growth being low for age , persistent diarrhoea or some of patients diarrhoea which are not present in your daughter's case , which make it very less likely
blood tests for cbc to exclude anemia , thyroid function test to exclude hypothyroidism, blood chemistry and BUN is helpful
I hope this helps with the answer
