I found this online, it is for humans but a person who has a "dog" wrote in about how they have used diet changes for their dog with success. Their letter is near the end of the page.

We have done tests - blood, stool, urine and the only bad result was low blood protein. She is on 20 ml prednisone twice daily, 500 ml Metronidazole twice daily, Fortiflora once daily, and at this point 2 pepto tabs 3 times a day. She is also on a low residue diet. She still has mostly uncontrolled diarhea. I asked my vet if he minded my consulting all you folks on the list, and he said absolutely go for it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I really would like to keep her around for a while longer. She is my alpha bitch (most of the time) and the best baby-sitter dog here at the house.
