Stomach Sensitivity

My granddaughter is 20 months old. She has allergies, asthma, eczema. She has been tested for some food allergies and will be tested for other things when she is 2. She has had diarrea almost everyday for about a month. Along with this she is vomiting 8 to 9 times a week. Sometimes in the middle of the night. When she vomits her food is not chewed. She was at the doctor recently and had not gained weight, but had not lost either. She also appears to have a distended stomach. Could this all be a food allergy? Does a food allergy also make someone more prone to a "sensitive digestive system"? I have recommened to my daughter that she put her back onto the restricted food diet the allergist put her on to test for food allergies. Rice cereal, chicken, applesauce, etc. Any other suggestions?

If she has an allergy to gluten, this could cause symptoms such as diarrhea, rash, gas, abdominal pain, delayed growth-shortness, fatigue, and weight loss and vomiting. I would stick to what the doctor says with the restricted food diet and follow up with the doctor because your grandchild could become dehydrated or even worse if she is vomiting that much almost everyday. A little one shouldn't have to go through all that.

What food items is she allergic to? Please sate her weight (in kg or lbs.) and height.
Thank you
