My 12 year young bichon has suffered with stress induced IBS for her entire life. I finally came across Gastro elm last year and used it for a two days and saw a total cure.

Cécile suffered from bouts of digestive woe ( vomiting, diarrhea, and acid reflux) for years, leading to a diagnosis of leaky gut and Irritable Bowel Disease.
