Any thoughts that would lead her to a path to green? Are we even looking under the correct rocks (digestive related)?

Look into Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome. It has very similar symptoms to a gallbladder attack. Pain in the same area and it can be quite severe. It's not picked up with conventional testing so it's easily missed. If the symptoms seem to fit, ask a GI doc about it and get them to order a mesenteric artery duplex ultrasound.
