Intermittent stomach pain

Hi guys,
Some advise please...
My DD (6yo) has been complaining for 3.5 weeks about tummy pain (not ache) it is intermittent and she also has intermittent diahorrea (sp).
I went to the GP who said she was constipated (??) or just had tummy pains .
I have gently explored the possibility of Bullying at school or just unhappiness - but everything seems to be fine.
The pains come and go - they rarely last more than 3-5 minutes and go very quickley.
Someone suggested worms so I bought some stuff from the chemist - but she still has the pains
My Mum thought she could be premenstral - but I though she was still too young

Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong with my girlie

Is she constipated? Sorry, just trying to think of any possibility. What happens if you make sure she has plenty of fruit and veg and not too many carbs and meat? I think if you try this and nothing improves then go back to the GP if you're worried. Sorry I can't come up with anything other than looking at her diet. I hope someone else can help.

I don't think she is constipated - she goes every day (at the moment 2-3 times a day) and has no 'rabbit droppings' IYKWIM
She is always (last 3.5 weeks) a bit loose (as my mum says
She eats loads of fruit/dried apricots & raisins
only a few carbs (pasta/pot/bread=one serving a meal) and plenty of meat/fish free days

She even drinks water and quite a lot!!

There are some wierd bugs around at the moment Katie. My ds 8 has been complaining for a few weeks and last week was ill but is still moaning this week and it is on and off and bits of diahorrea too. i have just assumed it was a bug and given him bits of calpol every now and then.

Thanks for the help...However we have now discovered that she only has a sore tummy with DH & I - with Teacher, Dinner Ladies, Nana - the people who had her all day Saturday - she was FINE!! Obviously its a mind problem

So any ideas how to approach the problem??
