I am from Australia, I don't know if you can get to Sydney but there are a few great vets there and a couple of nutritionists. They definitely need a supplement long term. I'm not sure if maybe there was a bit of confusion with the whole diet thing but I was given advice by my vet that on an elimination trial a cat can do fine without supplementation for 12 weeks maximum. After that they need a supplement or commercial diet with a supplement added. I've been trying to think of canned foods that contain only chicken but other than applaws which also contains rice and is unbalanced there isn't much. Coles sell one called Purr Chicken Breast in Gravy. I know you've said you've tried a lot of foods and you have my empathy, I too have a cat that gets severe diarrhea from all kinds of foods (i'm still trying to figure out which one's) and another who is allergic to chicken (I think, it makes his itchy problems worse).
I think Weruva do a chicken and turkey one that doesn't have much in it other than chicken and turkey and wellness do a chicken one in a small purple and green can, it does have additives but they're healthy one's. Anything you do trial though will need to be done super super slowly (like 1 teaspoon at a time).
If it's not an allergy to foods, it could be that they need something added to the food like a fibre supplement or some slipper elm to help bulk things up and move through more slowly.
