The only little girl I ever knew who had one was quite sick and the doctors couldn't figure it out for the longest time.  Ask the doctor if this is what it could be.

We are going to the doctors on Tuesday we will ask her then. We took her to the ER Saturday night because she wasn't peeing or keeping down liquids they did a x ray and since everything looked ok just very gassy and she was drinking again because of the pills they gave her they sent her home with two prescriptions for the nausea and the diarrhea and said talk to her doctor they don't know why she's been sick so long .She is feeling a lot better for now she can eat some real food and she's getting some sleep but I know its just temporary so if the doctor can't help they gave us a number to a specialist . Thank you for the advice I'll let you know what happens.
