" you could look up info on the computer and print it for her....try to get to a drs and get an opinion...they can be serious if not dealt with....they can grow...they can pull your stomach up into the diaphram and can become strangulated which will need emergency surgery....if she is having more problems she should at least have her primary order an endoscopy to be done to see what is going on...good luck...
