Spina-bifida and problem getting wind up- anyone experienced a similar thing?

Hello my name is Chris and I have a 4 year old daughter with Spina-bifida and hydrocephalus.
She doesn't have control over her bladder/bowel movements and is a wheelchair user.
She has problems with getting her wind up. Sometimes it causes her to throw up - a lot!
My question is this : Is there anybody else in this forum who has experienced similar problems and if so then what did you do to alleviate this nagging problem?
I fear it's only gonna get worse as she grows.
Any help is much appreciated - thanks guys!

my daughter is a full time wheelchair user and we sometimes have problems with wind with her.
we are lucky she can stand holding onto her wheelchair so we stretch her about a bit and she generally feels relief from that- i get her to stretch her arms in the air and move her waist from side to side.
The other thing is the GP, a lot of kids who are wheelchair users are on gaviscon and similar products to relieve the pain and provide some relief.
