The high carbs is in most kibble even grain free as a matter of fact some of the grain free even have higher carbs than the grain ones. Some of the more expensive kibbles can have higher carbs than the cheaper ones too. Without some type of starch you will not have kibble as it is what makes the ingredients stick together to form the kibble.

A quick way to estimate the carbs is % protein +fat+ moisture +ash -100 = % carbs (if you do not know the ash it is often 6-8%) Fiber is not used as it is usually a carb.

Ok, so today, His Majesty did not eat his breakfast, so we decided he’s rejecting it. Got him a bag of the old reliable, which all our past dogs have loved…Purina One (with tender meaty morsels). He just scarfed down his supper, so we’ll see if the toots are gone.

My 4 love the Purina Pro food, but it's pretty spendy. Good stuff though.

Hopefully this resolves your little pooting machine.

Far and away the most common cause of diarrhoea in dogs is wheat gluten (most dry food, dog treats, bread, pasta, biscuits, etc). But there are a number of other causes too. If your dog is suffering recurring diarrhoea then it's likely you're making some simple mistakes diet-wise. The first he's likely to be dry fed.
Pets who are fed kibble and other typical pet foods produce frequent stool, that is voluminous and very stinky! The larger the size of the poops, the less food is being digested. Kibble is only 20 to 40% digested which means that 60 to 80% is discharged in their poop!
