4th stomach bug in 6 months!

What am I doing wrong with DD?!

We’ve gone 4 years between a vomit bug she had as a baby to this year. Not a single vom. Then since July, we’ve had 4 stomach bugs. One in July, one in September, one 3 weeks ago & throwing up all night again last night. She’s kindly shared every single one of them with the rest of the family, so it’s def bugs she’s catching.

Is there anything I can give her to help boost her powers of not catching every vom bug going?! She’s a mediocre eater but does eat 5 day, including a couple veg in that. We give her s multivitamin. Debating starting probiotics 🤔

Has anyone had any experience with activated charcoal as well? DH & I are desperately taking some in the hope of avoiding this one. We are only just over the one 3 weeks ago. It knocked us both for 6, it was nasty. This is the first week I’ve felt like eating fairly normally! I cant face it all over again 😭 (the kids recovered in approx 12 hours, they just bounce!)

Is she going swimming?
As mine seemed to get 4-5 bugs in 6m. Although we didn't actually catch them.
Actuall handwashimg not just gel after things like soft play before eatimg.
I guess someone in her class etc who goes to soft play of thumb sucks etc so passes it all on.
