Hi N.,
My first thought was the bacterium H. Pylori. Has she been checked for mycoplasmas? H. Pylori is a cell wall deficient mycoplasma that likes to inhabit the stomach. It actually lives inside the tissue layers of the stomach. It irritates the stomach, and the stomach will start to produce more acid in an attempt to detroy the pathogen. But H pylori will put out an enzyme that nutralizes the excess stomach acid, causing belching, pain, bloating and reflux. Doctors will give antacids to cover up the symptoms, in the same way they give tylenol to bring down a tempurature.It makes the patient more comfortable but it never addresses the true problem. Even worse, when the stomach acid is reduced, the patient can't absorb the nutrients from their foods and severe vitamin deficiencies occur.It also makes the gut an open target for more pathogens to get a foothold. People can and many times do have mutiple infections of several mycoplasma at the same time. Zantac depletes calcium, b12,,zinc,D.folic acid and iron. (depleting those last three are a good thing if you have mycoplasma) it can also make you more prone to pnuemonia.
The old time remedy for H pylori is bismuth. Now keep this in mind: Much of the antibiotics and get well measurements given out by doctors are under dosed. Usually, to RID your self permanently of a pathogen,especially a cell wall deficent bacteria, it takes months. Many months. Doctors will give out a week long dose of antibiotics and expect it to cure the patient. Many times the patient does not get relief and is back again!
There are many types of cell wall deficient bacteria. H pylori is the one that likes the stomach, and can cause ulcers. There is Borrelia b., Babesia, Bartonella, Erlichia, and many more and some of these love to cause IBD , colitis and the like. Each of these can have several strains. These CWD bacteria SUPRESS the immune system. Some are VERY HARD to detect. Most labs don't have sufficient equipment to even find it in the blood.(IGENEX is the one lab that can, but it is very expensive.) To make matters worse, the spirochette types of CWD bacteria, Borrelia b, have a corkscrew shape and can travel and move about, and can find there way into any tissue. Vitamin D defieciency strongly indicates infection with chronic bacteria as they are disregulating the innate immune system (the vit d receptor.)
I could send you much more info on this issue, but to keep it short and simple, If it were my child, I would tackle it like this:
Have her eat protien at every meal. Reduce carbs. Stop all dairy that has vit D in it (use watered down half and half for your milk in oatmeal or cereal)Stop all soy, including soy in processed foods as soy lethicin, soy extract, soy protien. if you must buy processed cereal, look for low vit a, d and folic acid.
No breads of any kind that have any enriched flours in them.
the excess folic acid and vit d feeds the bacteria. Stop all sugar, which also feeds it, and of course soda pop, coffee and tea. Use Xylitol in place of sugars. You might be able to use coconut flour or almond flours in place of flour, as long as they are not enriched.No seafood, no egg yolk (use egg white sub products). Keep potatoes to a minimum.
Intestinal problems can be a sign of biotin deficiency. Biotin in a b vitamin that is created in our gut in a healthy GI tract. You could consider giving biotin or even a B complex....as long as it doesn't have folic acid or iron in it.
L glutamate can restore gut tissue.
Stop all chlorine in drinking water- it kills the vitamins a,b,d,k,omegas and even kills the probiotics you are giving her. use spring water or get a good filter.
Antibacterials:
SAMENTO 3 drops 3 times a day.
CUMANDA 3 drops 2 times a day (take at a different time as samento, (3 hrs after the Samento)
These two antibacterials are natural antibiotics that you can get without a prescription from Nutramedix(look online).They can take the place of metronydazole or tetracycline, or minocycline in killing some CWD bacterias.
Ps..it is not unheard of to see people who have had the bacteria for years (your daughter has been sick for years) to be on medication like samento or minocycline for years. Sometimes one to two months for each year of sickness.
BISMUTH -colliodial bismuth substrate 3-4 times a day

Down the road After antibiotics:
FULVIC ACID. Iron and folic acid can feed the bacteria. But once the bacterial problem has been resolved, Fulvics can replentish all the minerals that she may be lacking due to any malapsorption issues going on in her stomach. It has 60+ trace elements in an ionic solution that penetrates the cell walls. It can help carry other supplements into the cells.It stimulates and rebuilds the immune system.It is the most powerful antioxidant/detoxifier and chelator known.
Vit B complex.
