If she eats or drinks stuff, it stays down, but it's affecting her
appetite, as she *feels* off if she eats the wrong thing. Sometimes
(seems to be better now) she was having minor episodes of the runs. As

caused this, but it does seem to be getting better.

doctors alone on this one. I just wanted some suggestions for things
