We tried a single source protein diet (duck/potato) and nothing else, although I think they made duck/potato treats too. And Metro, but he was still having the episodes. Then we moved onto Tylan Powder every day, and this was finally what stopped them (after about 6 to 8 months later though) 
If you can find my past posts, TJs episodes are what brought me to find YT  |
this is because white potato is in that food and it inflames the intestines as it is an inflammatory food -- tylan powder daily is a lower dose of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory and many ibd toy breeds do well on it but it is bitter tasting so you have to disguise it or get tiny capsules to fill -- Metronidazole has to be compounded for toy breeds as it comes in a much higher dose. I personally would do probiotics first before using antibiotics then would use tylan then if real bad metronidazole. Food is your culprit
