Thanks for the suggestion. I actually did a food elimination diet along with getting her tested for allergies. She is now on a raw food diet and I found out that she is allergic to around 58 different things from many different grasses and trees to certain bugs and even human dander! It turns out that she is very sensitive and her stomach isses were caused from meds she was taking for a bacterial and yeast infection on her skin. These infections are quite common in dogs with allergies and in her case they are chronic. I now apply topical lotions to her daily instead of oral meds and the stomach issues have cleared up. That along with baths 3 times a week seem to keep it under control. I have also started giving her allegy shots with hopes that it will at least make things a little more managebale and provide her with a little more relief since antihistamines don't work at all. Definitley a lot of work, but worth it if it helps her.
