I think we are in the minority but Johnny's lingering poop and gas issues were resolved by switching him to a food that contained grains. He also does much much better on foods containing novel proteins (i.e. he does terrible with chicken or salmon but great with venison or lamb).
It took about five months of trying food after food but eventually we found one that worked! I'm sure you will too! To help with finickiness, have you tried canned green tripe? Johnny loooves it and he has no issues digesting it. Solid Gold makes a great canned tripe food (I think it's called green cow or something along those lines). Cottage cheese is also one of my go-to's when he's being a bit pickier, or using bone broth to incubate the enzymes instead of plain water.

Re: New Here - Maverick's Journey
Only responding to your first sentence---
You may be in the minority, but you are right to try things until you find what works! It's all about the poop & tummy. Good for you!
You might want to create a signature so folks can see exactly what you're doing.
ANNNND, if things take a turn, maybe try mixing a high quality grain-free food with her current food.

Tucker was a shepherd mix--- TLI 1.3, Folate 9.7, Cobalamin 666, Lipase 38. Diane's Enzymes 4 t/day, B12 1 capsule/day, and Tylan 1/16 teaspoon/day. Taste of the Wild High Prairie, 4 c/day. 60 to 85 pounds! Tucker succumbed to hemangiosarcoma Nov. 2023. I will always, always miss my sweet big boy.
Now there's Nina. 5 year old GSD. TLI 1.0 B12 323. We are still tweaking her routine, and getting lots of help from the forum. She is klutzy and goofy, and we love her dearly, too.
