I have a holistic vet and she recommends to make plain white rice but  use 4 times as much water. So say 1/2 cup rice 2 cups water. Boil the  rice for the required time I usually do it a little longer. You will get  a white watery liquid. Let this liquid cool down and it will become a  goo/paste and give the goo/paste with the meals. I add a little of the  rice but it is the goo/paste that does the trick. This really has helped  Buster when he was having colitis issues. She also recommends giving  apple without the peel she says the pectin in apples helps bind them. I  also have Buster on 
Jarrow Pet Dophilus  to keep his system running  smoothly. Good luck. I hope things firm up!
