This could be many thing she and probably needs to see a doctor, from diabetes to edema. I had swollen feet/ankles from too much sodium and water retention causing edema about a year ago and had to regulate my vitamin C, potassium, and take some stuff for it. But she could be dealing with something much more serious, like diabetes. If she is eating a bunch of gluten free breads and processed foods...that could be part of it, Most are made with starches, high glycemic flours, sugars, and a ton of sodium. Try going to a whole foods diet with less processed foods for while, watching sugar, starches, carbs, and sodium. See if this helps, also go talk to a doctor and a nutritionist if you can.

      I agree with @trents, could be worth having another scope. Oddly enough I'm in the same boat except my current odd sensation is near my appendix, I think I'll request a colonoscopy for peace of mind.

      Yes, take this up with your GI doc during the next visit. It might be a good idea to get an upper GI scoping done if you haven't had one done since diagnosis.

      I will be doing in the new year. I had a thought that it might be Diverticulitis but I have no other symptoms related to that.

      Have you mentioned it to your gastroenterologist?
