Is she taking a new vitamin?  Something similar happened to me when I 
started taking a new multi-vitamin -- my urine turned bright yellow, my 
milk turned an odd green color and my son, then about 4 mos. old, became 
quite gassy and fussy.  (I noticed green on my breast pads and expressed 
some to see what in the world was going on.)  When I stopped the 
vitamin, everything went back to normal and my son's problems went away 
very quickly.  She may not think of vitamins as part of her diet so 
didn't think about them when you were asking about diet.

(I have to sort of laugh.  It's not everywhere I would share something 
like that!)
