If you think it is a new food reaction it should go back to normal after you stop feeding the trigger food. If it continues it could be a sign of an problem and you should have it checked out by a Vet. The chicken and white rice is a bland diet to help them get back to normal. To use white rice to firm up poop my holistic vet gave me this advice. Make a batch of white rice but use at least 4 times the amount of water and let in cook until you get a white thick liquid that will form a jello/paste like substance once it is cooled. This starch paste will help firm up the stools. I add it to Buster food and he eats it right up. Sometimes if he is a little reluctant I sprinkle a treat on top as added incentive. If our Yorkie has had runny poop for a while they might need a little unflavored pedialyte added to their water. Above all else if you think there is an issue consult a Vet. You might want to consider adding a probiotic and perhaps a digestive enzyme to their diet.
