Without knowing exactly what diets or medications you have tried it is very difficult to discuss options. I would recommend a probiotic/fibre supplement such as fortiflora/profibre, a hydrolysed or inteststinal diet (royal canin hypoallergenic / gastrointestinal) and a faecal screen to rule out parasites such as giardia if persistent
