One of my cats has a very sensitive stomach ever since I started sprinkling tuna flakes (not fish food its made for cats) she hasn't been getting sick nearly as often. Has anyone else ever used these? I got them from Dr. Foster and Smith. Is there anything else anyone has tried that helps settle your cats stomach weather its hairballs or just getting sick?

I had never heard about tuna flakes helping soothe a troubled tummy - thanks for mentioning this.  The one thing I've heard is that mixing a little bit of broth (no MSG) can make for easier digestion.  It also helps keep cats hydrated which in turn helps prevent nausea.

Have you actually taken your cat to the vet for this?  It's important to have a vet take a look if your cat frequently vomits - it can be a sign of a serious problem.  It also might be an indication that your girl is allergic to something in her usual food.  Keeping a food diary should help you determine if this is the issue.

I did just take her to the vet on Tuesday and they told me she was in perfect health. So I dont think she is allergic to anything she just is sensitive

That's good news about her being in perfect health.  Always what you hope to hear at the vets!  
  I'll be curious to see if anyone else has some ideas - my Chula has a sensitive stomach as well.  I'm going to get some tuna flakes to see if it helps any.  I wish I had some more tips to offer you!
