Suzan, he has had probiotics & enzymes since he was about a year old.

Brit, when he does this it isn't bile.

He has had so many different foods that it doesn't seem likely it is a particular intolerance.

If it's not bile, what is it? Is it undigested food? Water? And you said it used to be when you would pick him up but now it can be at anytime? Just asking for some clarification.

If he has undigested food in his stomach in the morning from his dinner last night, that tells me he's not digesting his food properly. His tummy should be totally empty in the morning and anything coming up should be bile. Maybe his problem is that he has a slow digestive system? What brand of probiotics with digestive enzymes are you using? Even a great brand may not work on every individual fluff and you'll need to try a different one. If it's Animal Essentials, are you refrigerating it after it's been opened? Just trying to brain storm with you.

Believe me I know what reflux is. My Upper GI Sphincter muscle does not close at all so I deal with major GERD issues. And for me, it's bile that is refluxed, not food. My questions were simply to try and get a better understanding of what is happening so we could all do some brainstorming, not to offend. :thumbsup:

You might want to change him to a plant based probiotic. Many dogs with digestive issues are lactose intolerant and many probiotics that are not plant based have lactose because of the way they are cultured. When I first got Jett, he would throw up his entire breakfast, totally undigested late in the afternoon. He's doing really well on Animal Essential Probiotics with Digestive Enzymes. I don't want to send you a sample from one of my bottles because once it's opened, it needs to be refrigerated and I don't know how I could send it to you in a refigerated container. But I can get you a smaller bottle, 100 mg, for you to try if you are interested. Just PM if you want to try it. I know how frustrating it is to have to try things that don't work. The two things may not be unrelated. I have a friend who slowly got very ill over the course of a couple of years with similar symptoms you are describing for Shonni. After countless tests and several trips to Mayo Clinic, it was discovered that her stomach was not digesting her food properly and the food was literally rotting/fermenting in her stomach.
