Hi,

I had to reply to your post because when my son was just about the same age as your daughter the same thing happened to him. I found out that he was simply lactaid intolerant and couldn't drink regular milk. When he drank milk he would just puff out and then he would also break out on his genitals. Once I started giving him lactaid free milk it stopped and his stomach felt better. I hope this helps!

Take your daughter to a doctor for a check up, it sounds like a build up of air in her stomach which is causing the pain and the bloating. Things that can cause this is a range of different things, like lack of food, or food's containing an allergy, or a stomach problem. So get her checked out.

My friends son has a similar problem... his came from just drinking tooooo much milk and getting overly constipated. You may trying cutting the milk out and if there are issues with a bowel movement try a childs suppository...
Hope she feels better!!
