7 1/2 year old girl - malabsorbtion?

My daughter is 7 1/2 and since 3 1/2 years has had watery stools every time. She goes every day usually and most evenings has pains in her abdomen as she gets into bed and then has to rush to the toilet. She has not put on weight for the last year and previous to that she was only putting on 2lbs a year. She is 19 kgs. She is increasing in height reasonably but is very bony. Generally she is getting on okay with her education, although more recently she appears very pale, less energetic and grey under the eyes. All the paediatric tests have been repeated and are clear, including thyroid and celliac, although we are awaiting the stool reducing tests. She has had scans which were also clear.

We are now at the point that the local paed is at a loss as to what it is and we need to decide if we want to be referred to a specialist hospital which will no doubt require invasive tests or hope she grows out of it>

Any advice would be most welcome

How tall is your daughter? My daughter is 8 and 53" and she weighs 71-72 lbs. I have been following a natural program to straighten out her bowels. However, she is opposite of your daughter. The fix would be the same. Over acidification causes bowel problems. Does your daughter eat raw foods? My daughter is an alkavorian. How much water does your daughter drink? Do you give her any minerals, supplements, or oils?
