Brief Answer:
Thyroid

Detailed Answer:
Sorry to hear about your daughters problems.

When I see someone like this is my practice, I order the following tests:

1 CBC
2 CMP
3 TSH
4 Free T4
5 8 am serum Cortisol
6 25 hydroxy vitamin D

If any of these show abnormal results they can be pursued to understand potential causes of fatigue in her.

For example, her thyroid could be off or calcium could be low (due to celiac disease)
Treating the root cause should help her feel better
