Need info on juvenile Addisons/Irritable Bowel/food intolerance

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Poodle Support Group : One Thread

I have 7-month SP diagnosed with Addisons. Her Addisons appears to be under control, but we have another issue going on as her bowels are frequently in an uproar. She's on an EXTREMELY limited diet. Am looking for any info about IBS/food allergies/intolerances...she's at her worst when on kibble food...can't tolerate it. currently on cottage cheese and rice. Has anyone heard of beet pulp to aid in digestion and firm stools. (Sorry to be so graphic) Any other ideas? Thanks for caring!

My poodle had Addison's too. Did you know that IBS is a side effect of Addisons. The best food for that, in my opinion, is Hill's ID (the ID stands for Intestinal Diet). It is specifically made for problem digestion problems. My dogs go on it when needed and can't tolerate anything else. You can get it from you vet. I put a note in the Addison's area. If you need any help, please let me know. My baby was 11 months on her diagnosis, but looking back she had addison's for a long time. Good luck
