DD regularly feels sick

My 7 year old says almost daily that she feels sick. Often in the morning and sometimes after eating.
She is never actually ill and will eventually eat or if after food soon be jumping about.

She does burp a lot occasionally and can fart a fair bit too.

I will take her to GP but feel a bit guilty as there are no definite symptoms apart from her saying almost daily she feels sick.
I have asked her if she definitely feels sick and she says yes.

I do wonder if it could be slight reflux. She was a sicky baby. Or possibly a slight intolerance to something.
But wondering if other children are the same.

could she possibly be lactose intolerant? nausea and gas are signs of this. maybe take her to the gp and ask him? you could also try putting her on a dairy free diet for a month, then see if that helps.

Yes my DD (9) has been like this for years! Seems to help when she cuts down on dairy, so I would recommend that. She also used to have really bad breath when she was younger and used to drink more milk....

DD has been complaining daily of feeling sick for the last year, and I assumed reflux (she has allergies). However a blood test has suggested coeliac disease, which surprised me as she doesn't have other symptoms I'd expect.
