I'm even wondering if it pays to take a chance. I did try life's abundance and she didn't do well on that so I put her back on the id.

Not feeling well today but will try to list the ingredients later. Thanks
Personally i would not take a chance. My dog has ibd and he is on purina ha and he will get it for life - I spent 10k on him over a year and not willing to chance any other food. It has worked for 4 years now and no way will i risk it as one thing can lead to another and vet bills are not cheap - do not break what is not broke and stick to what works. I feed mine all separately in the office twice a day 12 hrs apart and that is it and they get their kibble for a treat so i do not mess with it as it can lead to pancreatitis what you are describing and you do NOT want to have a dog with pancreatitis which can lead to epi or diabetes. My dog almost died from pancreatitis and it is very expensive to treat and many die and it runs in this bread. It can stem from ibd in the small intestines triggering the pancreas. If your dog is having diarhea and vomitting it is large and small intestines and can be tied to colitis as well as dex never had blood or diarhea only massive vomitting so what you are describing is more stress colitis with blood in stool and vomit but it is the entire intestinal tract. Do not chance it or you may be asking for more vet bills and more health issues - stick to what works
