Hello,
I would explain that her symptoms could be related to malabsorption or irritable bowel syndrome.
Anyway, I would recommend performing a stool analysis and an abdominal ultrasound in order to be sure that everything is OK.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
