I know there isn't one specific food that will work for every case of IBS but what has worked for your cats? I went through this with another cat years ago and we landed on a limited ingredient canned diet without any poultry, fish, grains, or vegetables/fruits. My current guy has seen his symptoms increase a bit over the last few years. Vet visits haven't revealed anything remarkable. We've tried so many foods for him. He cannot/will not eat raw. He throws up quickly after consuming it. I've been able to get small amounts into his canned food before but now he won't eat it. He gets diarrhea from Hounds and Gato chicken and I think I recall him disliking the lamb(which his brother would throw up, hence stopping it). He also gets diarrhea from Evo, Weruva, By Nature(venison), Wellness, and so many other foods we've tried. I suspect that he, like my other cat, is allergic to poultry and sensitive to vegetable/fruit additions. I can't recall how he did on NV Instinct, which I stopped buying due to the cost/the transition to mostly raw for my other guys.
As far as supplements, we've started to give him Vet's Best Hairball Relief more regularly(he LOVES these!) and he occasionally gets probiotics/ezymes(which he doesn't care for; will try another brand).
Any suggestions on other foods to try? At someone's suggestion, I might give the Hounds and Gato Rabbit a try for him. I noticed it has duck liver in it, though, so if he has an across the board poultry allergy that might be a no-go.
