My DS1 (he's 7) has been complaining of having a sore tummy on and off for over a year now. I took him to the GP who also wasn't all that worried. I spent my childhood with the same complaint and it turns out I am most likely gluten intolerant (although I also have a hiatus hernia which didn't help things either!). I only worked this out recently and realised that DS1's tummy pains stopped when I changed our diets. It appears to be the answer for us! Our family has a history of gluten intolerances so I guess I should have worked it out ages ago lol!
Keeping a food diary is a great idea. Your DD could also be intolerant of something and hopefully you also work out what it is.
Could be sulphites or preservatives in food that do it.
DS has a sore tummy often and it's mainly associated with his growth spurts so the Dr thinks it's possibly hormonal. I find a homeopathic remedy called camomilla useful. It comes in tiny vials and he has a few a balls of his 'placebo' and usually feels better. One day he's going to figure out what placebo means lol.
Persistent sore tummies are very common in children and often they can't find any cause but they vanish as they get older.
