Sounds like a balancing act. lol. We know all about that here but thankfully Ellie doesn't get bloody diarrhea if I don't do it right.

How do you feel about prescription diets?

The diet that she is on now has to be balanced immediately because she is at risk for serious problems if it isn't. If you are feeding 80-85% dog food and just adding a little bit of homecooked in, that is fine. If you start to feed maybe over about 15-20% homecooked, you have to supplement (not just with kibble) with more than just bone meal and it is important to get the calcium/phosphorus ratio correct. I would say go for the homecooking if you don't want to do a prescription diet. A nutritionist can create one for you. Spinach isn't the best for intestinal issues. I would go with green beans or zuccini. Sweet and white potatos are good. Rice might work for some. Have you tried fish as her protein?

I wouldn't waste your time with an e-book unless somebody with excellent credentials wrote it and expect to get good answers because so much of what is on the net is opinions. I'd talk to a qualified nutritionist about this.

Did you try the hypoallergenic diet from Ann's nutritionist?
That might work for you...
