She falls asleep at normal bedtime, but then comes to me saying that her stomach is hurting her very badly. Originally, I took care of her stomach problems with bi-carbonate, or a trip to the bathroom, however, she may be sleepwalking. She sleep walks alot, 3 times a week. And she is very lucid when sleepwalking, When she has these stomach problems, all of her vitals are in good range, she doesn't eat anything bad, she does cry during these episodes which is highly abnormal for her to cry at all. Sometimes she recalls what happened the past night, some times she doesn't. I try to make up cures to her, a half of tums, or flat gingerale, and usually that is enough and she goes back to sleep in her room, but the last few times she says that it is not working and wants something else for her stomach ache. I just don't know if she is sleep walking and this is kind of a dream, or if this is real??? Any ideas on finding out if she is sleepwalking and what I can do to have her stop?

Chances are she is asleep during these episodes and I am willing to bet that her stomach doesn't really hurt, but she has, in her unconscious state, found a successful way to get some attention from you.
My daughter, who is about the same age, used to do things like that at night and have no recollection of it. They would happen more if she was dealing with stress or worrying about something.
It's time to have a talk with your daughter and see if anything is bothering her, whether it's friends, family, school, etc. Even little things can be eating at her that can cause her to seek your attention at night.
I also suggest taking her to your doctor, who can help suggest stress-reducing exercises.

You need to take her to a doctor. Even if she is sleepwalking, it is a sign of several serious conditions! She may have a very serious problem and her physician WILL take it seriously. Take her to a doctor and make the appointment FIRST THING MONDAY. Also, she might just be hungry....

Sleep deprivation, chaotic sleep schedules, fever, stress, magnesium deficiency, and alcohol intoxication can trigger sleepwalking. Just remember, never wake her up when she is sleep walking.

I know this is going to sound wierd but have her meditate right before bed and clear all the thoughts out of her head
i used to sleep walk and i had to clear all the thoughts in my head before night and then it was resolved.
Also talk to DOCTOR

You need to discuss this with her doctor. Sleepwalking can be dangerous.

Take her to a doctor. Start with the family doctor and get a referral to a specialist.
