Q: I also have a 12 year old daughter who has been complaining alot lately about her stomach.
Her symptoms are similar to those of reflux. Unfortunately with kids they've often felt bad for so long they don't realize it's not a normal feeling. My daughter had severe reflux as a baby. We stopped meds at 4, at 6 she started talking about how things felt. By 9 she was back on meds.
You may want to discuss her symptoms with her doctor. Often they will do a med trial to determine if it helps things. They may also want her to do lifestyle changes like avoiding OJ. But, seeing a doc about it can really help narrow down her symptoms and help her realize if there are more symptoms than she realizes.
