  The best option would be a GI specific formula made for sensitive stomachs. You can look at science diet I/D or Purina EN. Royal canin has good hypoallergenic diets that can also help with GI issues. These all come in dry or canned if needed

  I highly recommend feeding either Royal Canin or Hill's Science diet. Both are high quality foods that cats seen to enjoy. In order to avoid GI upset, make the switch slowly. Mix together her old food and her new food, and over the course of two weeks, slowly increase the amount of new food and decrease the amount of old food until she is eating the new food only.

  Some brands I like include Science Diet, Royal Canin, and Nutro. Each of these brands offers a variety of types of food in both wet and dry formulations, and some even have specific formulas for certain breeds of cat, or nutritional need. You can try slowly transitioning to a new food to see if Bella enjoys any of them. Try not to switch too rapidly as a sudden food change can cause digestive upset. If she's having a hard time eating dry food, you can also try adding a little water to soften up any kibble, and warm it up in the microwave for 2-4 seconds to make it more enticing.
