Hi,
The partly consideration can be possible with GERD but not surely IBS as per the current narration.
Following are the basic guidelines for your daughter
- allow her plenty of liquids
- high fiber diet with bulk-forming laxative
- check out eye visual accuracy with an ophthalmologist to rule out the ophthalmic cause of headache
- provide balance nutritious diet for all vitamin, mineral support.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
