No Diet Changes, Why Gas?

Hello All,
I am stumped by this one...I feel it is useless to discuss it with my vets because they will just recommend SD or EukVet. I will not go there.

Anyway...6 yr old spayed female Rottie, dewormed monthly with Interceptor. Was on Canidae until bout with enerotoxicosis caused by clostridium bacteria last summer. (I searched the archives for the thread. It has vanished!)

Switched to Solid Gold HundenFlocken with Seameal and add small amount of psillium and rice bran to keep bacteria from taking over again. All has been well for months and all of a sudden, for the last 3 weeks, she has been gassy. Tummy gurgles so loud it wakes me up at night. Sulphuric smelling gas like when she had the infection but no diarrhea. She also seems to be really hungry all the time. I know it's not a bad batch incident because I have another dog on the SG and she has a VERY tender tummy. She is fine. No farts, no gurgles, nothing...

I know that the gas and smell means something is not right so I want to do something about it. (Besides the stink ) I am going to try yogurt and I am considering changing foods AGAIN... but I fear the change might trigger another "episode".:(

Maybe I just shouldn't have started calling her Breezy instead of Bree-Ann!:p

HELP!!!!
