I would start her on other foods besides crackers and water if she can keep them down, but in any case I would find a different doctor.  Ask them about the possibility of an intessuseption.  (Sorry I am not sure of the spelling.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intussusception_%28medical_disorder%29 is a description of intussuseption.  Please read it and if it looks familiar, talk to your doctor again right away, or get a new doctor.

There have been lots of sickness like this in this year if you look at the other posts  here,with similar.it could well be some virus we have had. I think as they have been neg with tests they took, give it longer, make sure she is hydrated , and try soups, puddings, ask her what she would like to eat .If it continues take her back for further investigation .good luck
