My GSD was diagnosed with SIBO

Hi,
He was diagnosed back in June and was put on Tylan powder (antibiotics) for six weeks along with FortiFlora (probiotics). Our vet suggested that we change his diet and put him on ZD ultra both kibble and wet food which is a hypoallergic food. His stools are great and consistent. He has been off the antibiotics and probiotics for the past month and I was told to start weaning him off the ZD Ultra for it wasn't very good to use it longterm. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what food works best for SIBO GSD's? Thank you in advance.
My location is the U.S. I'm hoping we have similar foods! Thanks again

Smile My GSD was Diagnosed with SIBO

Thank you for the link. It was quite informative. I guess the trick is to find out what protein is tolerable. I am still open to more suggestions. Thank you guys so much!
