HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that she may have reflux. This is one cause of nausea after eating.
She may want to consider starting reflux medication to see if her symptoms improve, if they do then it is reflux causing the problem.
Eg of these medications are nexium, prilosec, prevacid, aciphex, protonix
They can take a few days to come into effect.
I hope this helps
