Second round of poo issues

My pup is almost 10 months old, I’m trying to narrow down what is causing his diarrhea. He had his first issue in early June, took him to the vet. tested negative for parasites, he was prescribed Metronidazole, and eventually his poop was back to normal. I couldn’t narrow down what caused it, around that time I introduced him to bully sticks, and I started making food toppers (ground beef with sweet potatoes), like a teaspoon of that food topper to each meal. So I eliminated the bully sticks and ground beef bc I thought maybe I should just stick to one protein. Currently I feed him 4Health puppy lamb formula dog food, with a teaspoon of a puree of veggies (sweet potato, carrots, green peas). He also gets FortiFlora probiotic daily.

Fast forward, and he has diarrhea again. It’s been miserable bc he has to go at least twice at night and the poo is not solid. I introduced him to greenies around that time, so I took that away and even eliminated the treats for now.

So now I’m starting to think could it be any of the veggies? For now I took away the mix ins, just giving him a tiny amt of canned pumpkin. We’re going on day 3 and it’s been off and on, like one day his poo was normal, then that following night it’s soft again.

I’m going to have him visit the vet and do another stool test. Could it be the dog food? Could it be something he ate in the backyard? I do my best to keep an eye on him when I let him out.
