alternative to orijen?

My lab is on the Orijen fish variety and does well on it in all ways except loose poop.

When I first got her, she was on Royal Canin. Itchy, dry skin, terrible gas, and loose poop. I switched her to large breed puppy orijen and every issue disappeared except loose poop. Under the advice of a vet friend (who also breeds and shows mastiffs), I switched her to the fish variety but there's been no change. It's been a few weeks. Her coat looks amazing, but still loose poop, although now there's also occasionally a few drops of blood.

My vet friend suggested a food with less protein and I'm looking for suggestions. Her condition is otherwise fantastic, so I'm hoping for something comparable, with lower protein. Any help?

Since you are in Canada, try the new Nutram grain free line. Comes in two main varieties. Turkey, Chicken & Duck 32/19 or Salmon & Trout 34/20. Should be available at your local Global Petfoods or Pet Value
