Hi,
Changed bowel habits and the symptoms suggest some intestinal infection. Though she does not have significant sufferings at present. The indigestion can cause her weakness. Please take her to your doctor. Pathological test of stools followed by specific antibiotic would relieve her.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
