Thanks for expressing your query at Chat Doctor. I have gone through the details provided by you and understand the cause of your concern. Let me first explain what happens normally. Acid is secreted continually by our stomach and is meant to be helpful for digestion. But if the gap between meals is more, more acid gets accumulated and this can now cause ulcer. The solution would be to put small amount of meals at frequent intervals so that the acid does not need to sit idle and can act rather fruitfully. The bowel movements are supposed to move the food downward up to the anus as the digestion proceeds on the way. The acid also comes down in same manner and does not accumulate if the bowel habits are regular. Regular activity/play and fiber rich foods enhance the stool formation and bowel movements. Give your daughter small but frequent meals and include Isabel husk in her diet (at dinner) along with more green leafy vegetables. In the evening give her some solid food containing both carboy Chat Doctor.  I hope that will take care of the situation. Although many doctors advise serpentine, I would not insist on giving serpentine to her as it is broken down by gastric acid and is not quite effective in assisting digestion. Hope that the above information would be helpful. Feel free to revert in case of further queries if any.
