S.boulardii with MOS is for diarrhea. If your cat has low vit b12, s. Boulardii with MOS won’t work. Since my cat is usually constipated I don’t give that one. Lot of IBD cat owners use Proviable or visbiome. Fortiflora doesn’t hav enough live bacteria to be beneficial. many owners use it as flavoring agent from my research.Oh god, Hills ZD was the worst for my cat. Explosive diarrhea too. I've never seen my cat run to his litterbox so fast. Poor little guy. He also started scooting on the carpet and his bum was a bit inflammed from it. He never scoots. He must have been so uncomfortable. I only gave it to him for maybe 3 days. (I have since read lots of comments from other cat owners reporting the same thing with ZD). I currently have him on RAWZ rabbit since daftcat75 recommendation and he is loving it. I know I started this thread with suspected IBD/Lymphoma but it seem his cyclic vomiting episodes are actually more likely due to pancreatitis (IBD/lymphoma still a concern but an additional one!). His blood panel showed low B12 and since he got his first shot his appetite has been amazing! He's completely off kibble now and is loving the wet food. Fingers crossed he doesn't go off it again like he has with other foods cause I just ordered a case. With regard to probiotic I still have much research to do, I asked my vet but she didn't seem to think it necessary. I have read a lot a bout how s. boulardii supplements are very effective in gut healing though (the brand often recommended is the Jarrow one) so I have started him on those (had to take a break because of his flare). If you need more pointers about this let me know.
I don’t know how effective is probiotic. My cat’s IBD is eosinophilic.

Read this, it explains different types of IBD. I also want to start raw but since her IBD is eosinophilic, I’m not sure about that. Lot of cat owners have success with raw.
If you have any info , please share.
