If she has bleeding accompanied by diarrhea then would rush for a colonoscopy. From the brief history you have given me, she might be suffering from ulcers, she has many risk factors pointing to that these include.-stress-obese- smoking-food allergies. Would suggest she needs to be investigated to know what is causing the problem would benefit from endoscopy instead yes she will benefit from a dietician for the food she needs to eat. Hope to have answered your query wish your daughter a quick recovery and don't be stressed life is short to enjoy it to the most.take care. </s>
