Hi there
I am intereted to know what your daughter drinks.
Do you think she drinks enough water?
This could be the problem as I have heard about people's body being in a state of dehydrationn and they don't know it and this can cause ulcers. I fpossible try to get her to drink two litres of pure water evryday( I know this maybe a lot for a 4 year old) but it can really help to ease the pain of ulcers.
There is a book called "your bodies many cries for water" which you can google and find out more information on as this doctor who wrote the book has done a lot of research into treating ulcers with water.
Also you may want to try and give your daughter a more alkaline diet as too many acidic foods in the body can lead to ulcers forming.
Hope this helps
Regards
Beckie

Her favorite drink is water. She drinks a lot of water and a lot of chocolate milk. I try to watch what she eats . She eats alot of yogurts, cheese, fresh veggies, and fresh fruits( banana, blue berries, and grapes). She loves maccaroni and cheese. That is pretty much her diet. She is so scared to eat that she sticks to the things that she knows wont make her vomit

Just wondering if the grapes are organic as I find grapes that aren't organic have so many chemicals on them, and can really aggreviate your stomach.
there is also a natural supplement called MSM which can help to alleviate ulcers, but get her drinking as much water as possible and avoid acid forming fods such as diary and any processed foods.
