Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Usually this happens secondary to intestinal parasites in a young kitten. I would recommend that you check in with a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment as they could start her on medications to make her feel better and to try to prevent this from happening again. Best of luck!
