Has anyone dealt with BVS in small dogs?

Has anyone dealt with chronic bilious vomiting syndrome in small dogs? As I have been dealing with this for 4 years I feel like a vet (and have spent enough on the vet that I could've probably afforded to become one myself lol, kidding). Just wondering if anyone else has a dog with it because I sometimes feel quite alone with regards to having a pet with this chronic condition, no other pet owner I talk to has dealt with it or has even heard of dogs having it. For my girl, the BVS tends to be more of the issue as her upper GI is most affected (she did have HGE in summer 2017 and that prompted another diagnosis of IBD as well, but the BVS is long-standing since she was a pup). My vet and her staff are incredibly helpful of course but it'd be nice to know I am not the only one. My vet says it is absolutely not breed specific but smaller dogs tend to be more affected. My girl is on long-term medication as well as additional supplements and a hypo diet including kibble, canned, and treats and she is doing incredibly well on it.
