The cleaned tripe put weight on Diablow Real fast. The thing about normal and Hi Pro was kibble, that he couldn't handle the High Pro. The thing about probiotics that I have heard, is that they take so long to help people, and some Stay on them. I tell them to try some tripe. Cleaned of course. Lots of ethnic groups eat it. I tried it raw like I gave it to the hounds. I always gave them orgam meats as a treat, once in a while. I think yogurt for the good bacteria, tripe for digestive enzymes, and cayenne to kill and bad bacteria might cure some of the people.
I frequent Dr Stoll's Md BB, and he claims that most of his cures will take months to years to cure things. I like fast things. He sayd Nothing works That fast, but they have. I used to get stabbing pains in my ears, jaw, and eyes when I ate something I became sensitive to and rice was about the Only thing that I wasn't. The pains would last days till the food passed out of my system, then one day, tired of rice, I figured oatmeal should be OK. I was dealing with the pains, and in 15Min !!! The pains were Gone, and Never returned... I think Java and Shena were as happy as I was that day. My Only escape was Sleep. Not that I didn't sleep enough back then, every few hrs, but at least I wasn't trying to escape the pains.

I had heard about feeding Green Tripe which is uncleaned cows stomach, and all the claims, but at the time you had to try to get a Whole stomach from a slaughterhouse that could be 50'bs, and they say stinks Bad, and has digestive enzymes and bacteria in it. Since my guy was not that long from not being able to tolerate hardly anything, I wasn't going to go through all that and find out he couldn't handle it, but I wanted to see if the enzymes would help his digestion, and help him bulk up.
They sell Cleaned tripe in food stores so I picked some up. If he could handle that I was going to go for the green. I gave him a handful of bite sized pieces, and he scarfed them up, and didn't have a problem, and I Still can't believe it, but in a matter of Days, he had bulked up, and had the amount of muscle I like to feel in their lower back. Maybe it was a bit longer than a few days because I was in very bad shape from an injury, and had to sleep often, but it didn't take long, and I only gave him the one handful, and he never had a weight problem for the rest of his life. I think he was lacking the enzymes maybe to digest or absorb carbs, since that's all cows eat. The dog people who swear by tripe.
Also swear that the cleaned trip is devoid of Everything, and told me it couldn't have helped him. I DO Disagree, but then they never tried it, and maybe the grass bacteria and stomach acid is what helps their dogs, but mine was helped with the cleaned one. I know people who take probiotics and wonder why they have to Keep taking them, and they aren't cheap. Some take 12 caps/day. I always look for fast complete cures, and have found a few for myself and my pets. If the thing has to be taken reguraly, it hasn't cured the problem. People claim that nothing works as fast as I claim, but they have with me. I would forget to take something that didn't work pretty fast, since I have memory problems from an injury.
For the rest of the story with the food sensitive hound. He had minor upsets for years, but with 2 dogs and feeding one all kinds of stuff, I always thought it was the other one. Not until he had diarrhea for 5 days and nothing was helping, did I try my cure all, Cayenne Pepper, and cured him overnite. I think he had been harboring some bad bacteria that took over, and what would make his stools soft once in a while, and him bring up bile. I'll know what to do the next time I see That problem, since I had another with the same thing, before him. What the cayenne did was make the hound normal and confident, by curing his problem, and he Was a challenge to try to desitize, and I consider myself an expert, but the usual cures only worked on the item that spooked him. The next day he would find another, and the Strangest things. He probably didn't feel good, and was always wary, of Everything. It was great to give him a few years where he was bold and confident all the time. He was fine in the house, but not outside.
