Hello and thank you for posting your medical question on E health Forum.

It is not possible to know the cause of her problem by the available history here.

A complete history and a physical examination would be needed to know the exact cause.

But the most probable causes could be gastritis, acid reflux, duodenal ulcers, enteritis, or a parasite infestation of her intestines.

You might consider to consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I hope this helps.
