PJ, Simple solutions may work… there is also Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diets… I have seen dogs do a 180 with their stomach problems after changing to NB with no transition! Of course, I recommend transitioning… that was meant only as a testament to how well I have seen the food work. And as Cathy mentioned above, too, Raw food would certainly be a limited ingredient diet. And concidering the tiny size of your pooch, even a commercial raw diet wouldn’t be that costly.

PJ –
For superior quality ingredients, high meat protein, low carbs – try feeding raw! It’s nature’s way.
Real whole foods, uncooked, and minimally processed typically results in optimum health.
Here are some raw foods available:

Gastro problems generally disappear with raw feeding.

I have a toy breed dog, 11 lbs, 10 years old. She has always had a sensitive stomach with gurgling, stomach upset, urping, spitting up & sometimes diahrea or constipation (which I treat with pumpkin). My vet put her on Iams FP about 2 years ago & she had the most beautiful coat & NO upset stomach. This food was recalled last summer so I have desperately been trying to find a better quality food with the same results as FP. The FP is back on the market, but it is crap so want to find a higher quality food that will not cause the stomach upset. I have tried Evo (way to rich for her & resulted in gastroenteritis), Wellness super 5 (lots of stomach upset) and now have her on Wellness Core. I changed over one kibble at a time and all went well. Now that she is eating just the Core she is starting to wake up in the morning with a gurgling upset stomach. She runs out and starts eating grass and shrubs & refuses to eat her breakfast (she has always been a good eater). I give her pepcid which helps, but I hate to try to change her over again to a different food. I like the idea of no grain (helps with her yeasty itchy ears) but have to find something that doesn’t bother her stomach. Does anyone out there have any similar experience & if so can you recommend another brand? I thought of trying Wellness Simple Solution, but it seems very high in carbs. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi Judy… This review here presents the sum total of my opinion of this dog food. But please remember, our evaluations are always based upon apparent ingredient quality and estimated meat content only. And are “not intended to suggest feeding a particular product will result in a specific health benefit for your pet”. We’ll leave that up to you, your vet and the experiences of our readers as they’re reported in these comments. Sorry I can’t be more help.
