INSOLUBLE fiber generates gas and bloating, which are the products of carbohydrate fermentation that occurs when the fiber reaches colonic bacteria in the large intestine. SOLUBLE fiber, however, is found in fruits, vegetables, oats, barley etc.
Eagle makes a great product that I like Holistic Solution, however is does contain pre/probiotics and in some cases dogs with these issues do poorly with supplementing "biotics" until the mucus layer has regenerated. I might give it a go though, as your "repair" will be faster. Perhaps going slow, and watching closely is the answer. Most certainly adding SOLUBLE fiber will be a big help, and I use 3-5 grams per day.
Good luck
