Many times she gets the tummy ache and nauseous soon after eating and will not even want dessert. Other times it is in the morning after waking up She has missed a lot of school because of this.

Hi,

There could be several potential causes for the symptoms your granddaughter is experiencing, and it's important to have her evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause. Some possibilities include:
* Migraines: Headaches accompanied by nausea are common in migraines, and they can be triggered by various factors like stress, certain foods, and changes in sleep patterns.
* Gastrointestinal disorders: Your granddaughter's symptoms of nausea and stomach discomfort after eating may be due to a gastrointestinal disorder, such as acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, or celiac disease.
* Food intolerance or allergy: Nausea and other gastrointestinal symptoms after eating can also be a sign of food intolerance or allergy. It's possible that your granddaughter is sensitive to certain foods, such as dairy or gluten, and that her body is having a hard time digesting them.
* Chronic fatigue syndrome: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a condition that can cause extreme fatigue, headaches, and other symptoms. It is more common in older children and teenagers but can occur in younger children as well.
* Anxiety or depression: Emotional issues such as anxiety or depression can also manifest as physical symptoms like headaches and nausea.

It's important to have your granddaughter evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of her symptoms and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
