Colitis in dogs

Question
My dog "Nitro" was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and has had half a dozen episodes of bloody diarrhea.
He is on Science Diet id and does very well on it.
He gets bored with the same thing over and over
and sometimes refuses to eat unless just a little something is added as an appetizer. It can even be a tiny piece of bread.
He is allergic to beef and beef products, but can sometimes tolerate a tiny piece of cooked chicken. I gave him a tiny piece of fried chicken, after I had washed it under running hot water, but he developed foul smelling diarrhea.
Is there a herb/s that can help him that is not toxic to dogs?

Answer
Marcie, I would love to help you and Nitro!  yes - offer this recipe a few times a week to Break up the Science Diet ....
Also, a wonderful herb/holistic supplement, too:

Try this recipe and give 1 NuVET wafer per day - NuVET will help to coat the intestine and protect from ulceratons and bloat.
NuVET will help to control the Allergens that are hitting this kid.
