First important question is: what do your cats eat? Gastrointestinal issues are most often related to diet, so sometimes just finding an appropriate food is all that's needed. Because vets are rarely a good source of nutritional info, they don't pursue this area sufficiently beyond just throwing a bunch of lousy (and expensive) prescription diets at the problem.
Next question is: what medications, if any, have been tried?
And also, has any blood work been done, specifically an fPLI test for pancreatitis? What about an ultrasound?

My cats eat premium wet food with the occasional treat of some dry food. When she started to have puking issues i switched them over to wet. I've never tried prescription. I honestly think she might have a fish allergy since she pukes a lot more if she gets a fishy food, but when i suggested this to the vet she said that trying to check for allergies is very hard.
She's been on lactulose. blood test, i think but can't remember, no ultrasound.
