I think you have to trust your gut on this. For ages our last GP fobbed dd off by saying her tummy aches, diarrhoea, headaches, dizziness etc were down to anxiety, and it didn't feel right to me. Dd was anxious, but like you I was worried that there was more. I pushed for her to see a Paediatrician and it turned out she had a major intolerance to wheat. We've since established that she also has IBS.
Maybe while you're waiting for an appt you could try her for a week off wheat or dairy.. she could have an intolerance to something like that. After about a week off wheat, dd was seeing a noticeable difference in how she was feeling.
Hope you get sorted soon.
