How Can I know if my dog has Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Inflammatory Bowel Disease?
She has diarrhea, and has had it for a long time. she doesn’t have worms or enzyme insuffiecy. And how can I help her? I’ve already tried rice, chicken, keopectate, different kinds of dog food, and yogurt.
I’ve taken her to the vet alot! and have spent alot in tests and medication. the vet says its probably irritable bowel syndrome and that we should be careful about stressing her out, like don’t get her to excited.

Take the dog to the vet. Diarrhea continuing for more than about 24 hours should be evaluated. It could be all sorts of things wrong with her, from parasites to food allergies (I know a dog that is allergic to beef, chicken, turkey, duck, rice, wheat, soy, corn, barley and millet), to something even more serious. The only way to tell and to fix the issue is to have your vet examine your dog.
Please take this dog to a vet. This sounds serious. I am not a vet but for the safety of the dog losing water and nutrients in the diarrhea the dog could get dehydrated, lose kidney function or some other serious problem that could cause death.
take it to the vet

Dont think for one minute that im telling you that he has Colitis but i think that you should speak to your vet again & enquire more about it.
Good luck
