Seems to me that if the vets issued such a clean bill of health, the problem with your dog is what it's eating.
I bred, raced, coursed greyhounds for many years, and without any diagnosed underlying medical condition, only had one dog that showed such symptoms as you describe, and it was sorted out by finding out which individual food was causing the digestive problem.
Acupuncture will not cure it. May give some pain relief, but that's about it.
Used all such alternatives aiding dogs to recover from injury. Acupuncture, ultrasound, osteopathy, and in most cases to good effect, but not for an undiagnosed digestive problem.
It's a process of elimination regarding food intake.
Not a gambling man anymore, but would certainly place a good few bucks on your dog's diet is the major factor in its problem.
Knowing the dog's age etc. and how the problem started would help.
