We have a cat who has IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). She was diagnosed a decade or so ago and is now fourteen. I have no real good advice to offer other than being very careful in what you try.

After our cat was diagnosed we were lucky to find a food she did well on and we've stuck with that over the years and tried to limit other things. I'm normally a huge proponent of variety in healthy pets' diets, but pets with medical issues like IBS and IBD are exceptions to that.
