Princess was never put on prescription food for her colitis. Just a bland diet of plain boiled chicken breast or tilapia w/white rice & carrots or green beans. Only for a couple of days (since I didn't add any supplements/vitamins) & she was back on her reg food. Of course, vet ok'ed the bland diet 1st & she was also put on antibiotics.
Awhile back, someone here recommended this for ulcerative colitis, also for IBS:
VSL#3 - The probiotic medical food for the dietary management of ulcerative colitis or an ileal pouch.
It needs to be refrigerated & it's pricey. But if you've tried everything else & nothing worked, I think this is worth a try. The unflavored powder form would be best & only 1/4 of a teaspoon a day can be mixed in w/their food.
I got benebac plus from amazon. Mine all get soft poopies whenever I give them probiotcs...not sure why, I don't give them a lot of it either. So I only give it to them if they're on antibiotics. If you do a search here, you'll find many threads on probiotics.
