Well, if your daughter's arms and legs are relatively thin in comparison to her abdominal area, and her head looks like it's too small for her body, it is likely that she is suffering from some inflammatory reactions to something in her food. I am just one person, but that is my experience with symptoms from food sensitivity. What I mean is that all of my body's tissues swell, due to inflammation.
I first cut out gluten from my diet, and had much more clarity in my thoughts and lost about 30 pounds, but after that I stayed fluctuating between being so swollen, I had to wear a size 10 in jeans, and then shrinking back down to an 8. Having to swap between clothing sizes until now that I've cut out animal products, too. Now it's been a steady improvement. But anything could be the cause for a food sensitivity. The best way to find out what it is is to go on an elimination diet and then reintroduce foods until you figure out which one is the culprit.
I hope this information helps. Hopefully, your daughter is just fine.

oh wow; thanks so much. She has the distended stomache really bad; so much so that people ask if she is expecting a child. I bought her Life Change Tea and she is just starting on it now. Thanks for the info!
Oh no, that sounds like a reaction to her food. The tea will not help much unless the food causing the reaction is removed from her diet. People constantly ask me if I'm expecting a child because my belly sometimes sticks out so far.
I can tell you that the number one culprit for this is gluten. Had it been a food allergy, you would have known immediately upon the food touching her lips. If it's not an allergy, it's a sensitivity. Casein is another big one, and that's found in dairy and other animal products.
My suggestion is that you eliminate these two proteins from the entire family's diet. I know it seems really crazy, but that family support is what's going to make this change seamless for your daughter. Who knows, maybe you'll find yourself with a flatter tummy, too!
How old is she?
She is actually out on her own (28); she has never looked after her eating habits and big into chips and processed foods. I think she's finally ready to tackle the problem though. This is very helpful info!
That's great to hear! I'm 29, so she and I are peers.
