10 yr old daughter repeated nausea........

[Kathy-D__0]

  My daughter has stomach problems since birth, but became
  more severe 3 years ago.  After a endoscopy 3 years ago
  showed irritation, she was placed on Zantac and Propulsid.
  Whe recovered, only to relapse last year, placed on Zantac
  and Propulsid again, with only slight results.  Found out
  she was lactose intollerant, but never had any of the *typical*
  symptoms of cramping and loose stools.
  Her nausea is usually after eating, in the morning.  However,
  lately it is any time during the day and even wakes her during
  the night.  She insists she is going to throw up, although never
  has.  
  The start of nausea, and end of nausea can be very abrupt.  Starts
  in a split second, and can end just as quickly.  Stress does seem
  to make it worse, as does driving in a car making her car sick.
  Right now she is only taking Children's Mylanta, which only helps
  slightly.  I do not want to put her back on Propulsid, due to the
  heart problems associated with it.
  She takes Lactaid with EVERY thing she eats, from a simple piece
  of toast, to a regular meal or snack (as per her pediatric
  gastro's advice)
  I'm desperate to end her suffering.  Is this a lactose problem, or
  reflux?  It's a daily problem lately and would like to nip this
  in the bud as soon as possible.
