Why would my 8 yr old throw up when we're out in public & What can I do to help her stop?

Question

Ok heres my problem.... Kjursten, my dd, is almost 8. For the last
several months she has been "throwing up"(for lack of a better term)
every time we go out to eat, anywhere. She is not doing it
intentionally, and its not for attention, and she is NOT belemic. I
think she gets so nervous she starts thinkin about it and worries
herself into getting sick. Do yo have any ideas on how to calm her or
help her? I am at my wits end. I have tried everything, if we can get
her mind off of it, sometimes she will be ok. But it usually doesn't
work. She does not do it at home, but everywhere else we go. I know
the most obvious sounding answer may be attention, but I tell you its
not, ok if you can help, please do, i am open to all your suggestions.

I am worried she will do it at school,:>(

You need to get that kid to a doctor. Anything less would be child abuse. She could have a serious condition that fools on Yahoo are not qualified to answer.
