Diarrhea: Persistent diarrhea can originate from an infection ( of gut, uri, or pneomonia) or food reaction (allergies or poisoning) or autoimmune disease involving gut. See md to get her evaluated.

Diarrhea and feeling: Sounds like dehydration - is she making urine at least every 6-8 hours. If not, rehydrate with oral electrolyte solutions, take probiotics and increase the fat in the diet. Failing that, she will need stool cultures, a sed. Rate/crp and a GI work-up for inflammatory bowel disease and for malabsorption.
