I would be happy to liaise for you kem and mom/IBSmess as well as share info with you. Feel free to call 877-898-2539 and I can connect you as it is not safe to enter your email addys on public BBs.
The IBS Audio Program 100 for adults and teens has been very helpful for just what you describe about your daughter. Kem's daughter is using the IBS Audio Program 60 for Children, but your daughter is older, so would be better for the 100 program.
The author of the programs, Michael Mahoney, has worked with many many IBS teens just like your daughter. He had one little lady who was so incapacitated from IBS that she missed 2 years of school! He was able to help her get back to school with no more IBS issues - she is now a young adult working full time with no problems whatsoever re the IBS.
There IS hope - all the things you mention are just the things that are addressed in this program - it has been helping sufferers since 1998 - with that type of longevity, if it did not help, Heather would not sell it here, there would be lots of neg reviews on open cyber space (there are very few) and I would never even suggest it...
Take it from someone who has had IBS since 1983, and suffered horribly - this was the only thing that touched my IBS after almost two decades of tests, medications, diets, starvations, supplements, you name it, I was on it, short term to no relief.
Do call - I am here to help and can connect you two if you wish to help each other also... 
All the best - dont give up on your precious daughter - I speak with moms all over the US and Canada - and have many happy stories to tell - there IS hope...

Hmmm, this is interesting and I'm so happy it helps you. I have always had allergies (longer than I've had IBS, even). I take claritin daily and never found it affected by GI symptoms one way or the other. However, whenever my allergies get really bad and I add benadryl to the mix, I did find an improvement in my digestive symptoms. But I always attributed this to getting a good night's sleep, since benadryl knocks me out and lack of sleep was one of my biggest triggers.

Hello shawneric,
I was wondering if there was a new medicine to treat Mast Cell disease, which I was unsucessfully treated for when I was referred to an allergist in the early '90's. I took sodium cromalyn for 2 years daily in the States, then for another 2 in France (the reason I switched to a French doctor was because my medicine in America was only available in a powdered capsule form, which I had to break and dissolve in boiling water 3x a day, while in France the doctors gave me glass ampoules of liquid, and their opinion of American doctors.).
Despite me not responding to this treatment and never displaying the symptoms of masto cytosis, the blotchy skin rash accompanying this disease, my allergists refused me a different diagnosis, so I discontinued treatment.
Three doctors later and a total of four colonoscopies with biopsies, sigmoidoscopies, upper GIs, lower GIs, barium swallows, barium enemas, MRIs and CAT scans, they gave me "normal" results: no swelling, no celiac, Crohns, Lyme, MS, Parkinsons, nothing but Pain-predominant IBS-D and Fibromyalgia+CFS. So I most likely never had Mast Cell disease.
What intrigues me is that medicines to suppress Mast cells from releasing hystamine are being considered for IBS patients. I have used benedryl, Allegra and Claratin to control hay fever and have found absolutely no effect on my stomach issues. As a D-er, I am accutely aware of reactions to new meds, and have over the years tried to limit my treatment to loperamide, belladonna, yoga and meditation, and to control the environmental and external stressors (a/c, arguing with mom ).
If you are still reading my rambling post, I thank you. Do drugs target the gut histamines more than they used to, and are there new Mast Cell therapies good for IBS?
Best,
~nelly~
