Is it right after she eats every time? Otherwise it kinda sounds like a possible food allergy.

Please leave feedback for me and I will do the same for you!

Reply to Sheri Lilly-Howick's Post: She says when she eats liks chips or something small it doesn't do it. Last night we had grilled pork chops, baked potatos, and corn. She did it last night after supper.

it could be that one of those items or one of the ingredients is the culprit such as gluten (which seems to be in almost everything!) It can cause this type of reaction. Unfortunately, the only way to know is by visiting an allergist. She could try taking an OTC antihistamine (like Benadryl) and see if it helps.
