Hello @agoodmind4u -- welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm sorry you haven't been able to find an answer to the facial swelling yet but it sounds like you to have identified the probable cause. Others have mentioned the FODMAP or low FODMAP diet for IBS. While we wait for other members to respond to your post, I did find some information on Mayo Clinic's website that may be helpful.

You mentioned eating very little and changing sleeping positions. Have you made any changes to the types of foods you eat?

I have found that water based foods are best. Refraining from starches, breads and all foods that take moisture from the body works.
