Thank you, @carr. This is great info. It’s lymphatic, not gastrointestinal. It’s hard to get people to understand that. FYI @almostoutofthewoods.

Thank you! I just googled abdominal lymphedema after breast cancer and yes, I'm sure that is what I have, and many others also have. I found a certified lymphedema therapist and I will make an appointment. Also wearing an abdominal binder is recommended. I feel so relieved knowing what this is and how to take care of it. Hopefully others will see this and be helped as well.
