Brief Answer:
Some tests have to be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Without good physical examination and some tests its very hard to give precise diagnosis.
Pain is usually very nonspecific symptoms and can be caused by several issues including peptic ulcer, stomach inflammation, gallstones, stomach cancer, colon cancer and many more.
It would be good for her to have abdominal ultrasound and blood work at the beginning. The next step would be gastroscopy and colonoscopy.

Please consult her with a good gastrologist.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
