Hello,
Yes, you are right, she needs to see a gastroenterologist as soon as possible. Further tests are needed to be included:
- complete blood count
- upper endoscopy
- abdominal ultrasound
- fecal analysis
- stool examination for ova/parasites
Meanwhile, give probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora and keep good personal hygiene.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
