Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by joe: can you please tell me which kind of dog food is best for newfoundland male?
i feed my dog beneful and he has been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. he has frequent diarrhea and belly pain. The vet also suspects he has colitis and I am going to take him to vet for further testing. The vet thinks he is allergic to corn. So i remove pieces of corn with my hand from the beneful packet. I now think beneful may have contributed to his IBS and suspected colitis. If so, then what should I feed him?

Question by c: Probiotic Culture…I am wondering if dry or dried probiotics are as effective as the living kind in yogurt.?
I use to by a lot of liquid acidophilus and eat yogurt. But recently I have seen Kashi cereal with probiotics. Also, I bought a very expensive bottle of pills by Nature’s Way called Primadophilus Optima that claims to have 35 billion cfu potency of 14 strains of probiotics. However, I thought a culture needed moisture to thrive and survive. I would appreciate some input, advice, and educational direction. I bought the bottle and I’m taking the pills to be on the safe side but sometimes I worry that I’m just being a sucker for false claims.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I like Dr. Ohhira’s probiotics. It’s a little pricey but it works. I agree that it’s tough to accept some of those potency claims.

I’ve been drinking the Dannon probiotics, and have been feeling really good, but dont want to drink all that dairy and worry about what the cows were taking too…. GROSS! So… What is a good probiotic. Pill form is fine. Thanks
