Where are you? If you are in China, have you seen a very good acupuncturist, yet?

Have you seen an expert pediatric (for children) gastro-enterologist (digestion doctor) yet?

What does the doctor think is the problem that your daughter is having?

Does she still have the fever?

Is she drinking enough clean water?

Do you have a "health food store" near you? If yes, you can try "activated charcoal", in case she ate something spoiled (rotten). Make sure she eats only a very little bit of the activated charcoal, since she is only 2 years old. Ask the pharmacist how much would be OK for her to eat.

Have you tried BIFIDUS BACTERIA yet? "Bifido-bacteria" are good bacteria that are related to ACIDOPHILUS, and are sometimes found in YOGURT, KEFIR, AND BUTTERMILK.

Find a very good doctor, who can tell you WHY your daughter is having these problems of pain, etc.!!!

Avoid GLUTEN for a week. Some people (including children) are allergic to GLUTEN. These people have "Celiac Disease". GLUTEN is found in WHEAT, RYE, OATS, BARLEY, and BUCKWHEAT. Avoid these for a week, to see if it helps.

Rice is OK, because it has NO GLUTEN. Brown rice (natural, "whole grain" rice) is better than white rice. Brown rice has more vitamins, minerals, and fiber, than white rice does.

What do YOU think is the cause of your daughter's problem??

What does she usually eat?

Do not give her any food that has MSG in it! MSG is called "Accent", or "mono-sodium-glutamate", and is often used by some people and restaurants, to make food taste better. But MSG can upset a stomach very much!

Read your labels. Avoid all artificial ingredients. Avoid the artificial sweetener called NUTRASWEET (Also it is called Equal, or Aspartame). Nutrasweet can also upset the stomach very much!

Good luck to you. I hope others give you some ideas also!!

Sincerely,
Concerned lady
