Default Opinion about low carb/grain/gluten diets

I've recently been doing a lot of looking around on the internet about grain free and even gluten free diets and their benefits.

Bentley get lots of reddish brownish eye boogies and I've been reading that this is due to yeast, and a gluten free diet will help or even get rid of this all together. (however this is not the sole reason I'd like to switch)

On the other hand it seems hard to find a good grain free food that is made for puppies. I've seen a few but they are really high in fat or have other ingredients that aren't particularly very good.

I saw what I thought was a good argument from another forum saying that pets have long been domesticated to the point that a grain free and raw meat only diet is no longer ideal and some grains are now good and normal in the diet.

Others say that these grain filled foods are just made with a bunch of fillers (the grains) which are shortening the lives of our pets.

Any opinions on all of this? What do you tend to follow and beleive?

I am currently feeding Blue buffalo small breed puppy food, but Im considering The honest kitchens grain free foods now... His stools increased when switching to blue buff so idkk...
