If she's not pooping blood anymore, then I would switch her food. Iams is a great food, and I would never recommend feeding Blue Buffalo. It's a terrible food, and many vets have seen bad cases of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis in dogs who are on Blue Buffalo. It's can normal that their stomach makes noise sometimes, and if her poop is regular, I would not keep change her food. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
