Default Lymphangiectasia

Our yorkie, Dany, has been diagnosed with Lymphangiectasia. The vet is recommending a Hills Prescription diet. My pups are currently on a grain-free diet and I would prefer not to feed Dany the Hills diet food, however, from everything I can research, diet is key in keeping them as healthy as possible with this disease. Anyone out there who has had a pup with Lymphangiectasia and if so, what did/do you feed them?

I found Annamaet LEAN Dog Food. Not sure if it will fit the bill. I plan to go over the ingredients and guaranteed analysis with the vet, but hoping someone has some real world experience. Info on Annamaet below:
