This is a very common problem among this age group. Milk being high protein diet, and she is not taking regular food this is causing excessive gas formation. Reduce milk intake, negotiate for regular food (yes you have to negotiate), give water few times a day, add fruits and vegetables to her food. Let her eat with family on the dining table. Serve only what has been prepared for the family. Take her for playing, encourage running around, encourage her to do age appropriate work in the house and appreciate. Do not give in to her not eating -so give milk. It will take a few days of patience.
