I had a pup who regurgitated water all the time.....they did a flouroscopy on him to rule out megaesophagus. He did have motility issues but it was some kind of issue with the nervous system....food was "seen" and the esophagus worked; but water was not "seen". He was put on numerous meds and did improve over time.
His chest rads didn't show anything....

Back to the diet. If IBD was diagnosed, I am quite surprised the vet didn't change that diet. You don't always see symptoms on a daily basis with IBD.... and food, specifically proteins, can definitely cause issues. You are giving three proteins....if you are giving them at different times, you might want to take note if perhaps one of them is causing these issues.

Another thing to consider. Has she had bile acid testing done? I had a pup who had occasional issues with regurgitation of his food after he ate.....it took some time before he was diagnosed but he had a liver shunt! He was an adult ... sometimes they don't have the typical symptoms of a shunt and it is entirely possible for them to have them into adulthood. He had surgery to correct the shunt ... he did also have IBD so was put on a hydrolyzed diet. He was about 8 at the time and lived to be 15.
