Hi! I asked a question a little while ago about my dog vomiting bile once a day like 3x a week. I was told to try bread by one of your vets. Can i do any type of sliced white bread? I would try at night before bed to help suck up the bile & also one slice in the morning. Would this work at stopping the daily vomiting from her overactive bile producing stomach?? (Ps I’ve taken her to the vet before & they said her stomach just makes a lot of bile & Pepcid hasn’t worked so well but i only tried 1x

Hi. Yes you can use bread to see if it helps and any type is ok. It nay help just as much to feed a small meal just before going to bed. Pepsid could be used as well, but it may take more than one try to see if it works. I would be concerned and make sure though that all causes of vomiting have been ruled out. Labwork and an ultrasound and fecal would be the best way to start. Good luck
