Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I switched her to a raw pre made diet and it worked wonders..She ate it for about 2 weeks and there was NO gas. Unfortunately I am having a hard time maintaining a supply. The store keeps selling out. So I let the raw get out of her system and continued feeding the remainder of the grain free.... OMG after just one feeding she was unbearable. I would love to keep her on the raw but if I can't get a good supply it really makes things hard. I think I am gonna switch her to the go natural and try the yogurt like everyone has suggested. Where would you get the capsules? A health food store?

Make sure on the yogurt and capsules you either do one or the other and NOT both. The acidophilus capsules are a higher concentration of the good bacteria is in yogurt (which is what helps the gas, not the yogurt itself), so you'll need to choose one or the other.

Nope you can get acidophilus capsules in any store, Wal-Mart, Target, grocery store in the vitamin aisle/pharmacy section. Very easy to find.
