thanks for sharing that Madelon- -i highly recommend Dr. Dodds "sensitivity" test.... as sensitivity IS different from Allergy tests which are not always accurate.... but time and time again, her sensitivity test have certainly hit the mark.

Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........

Hi Mia ,
Just using my own experience : Only change one thing at a time . For me the fish oil Omega's always give Amber loose stools .
She is epileptic as well and when I give something that other precipitates a seizure or loose stools, I take out the "new" things and wait til everything settles, then give only one "new" thing . That way I can r/o the offending agent . I've tried other enzymes but the strength of the ones that I get from enzyme diane has always worked better . Compare the strength of those to what you have
