So, there certainly is something to be said for selecting a food that your cat really likes, and that seems to benefit your cat in terms of managing symptoms. And that probably shouldn't be underestimated. That said though...
The first 6 ingredients of Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EN Gastroenteric Formula Canned Cat Food:
Poultry By-Products, Liver, Water Sufficient for Processing, Turkey, Rice, Oat Fiber, Calcium Gluconate
So yea, owch, it's mostly by-products, which is the lowest grade "meat" you can get, not good. Legit companies really don't use by-products in their formulations, certainly not the first ingredient!
Recommendations? I haven't faced this before, so nothing from experience, but I think in general Science Diet is going to be better than Purina, and Royal Canin is going to be better than Science Diet, in terms of the brands that I'm familiar with, that have a pretty big amount of offerings in the perscription food market.
That's in the US though, I realize there are different (and typically less variety) in the UK.
