So I think it's probably from less "filler" / extra stuff. And also, the decrease in corn and other carbs often reduces poo volume.
I have mixed feelings about this, I've always thought that indigestible carbs i.e. or fiber was good for the intestines. I know what you mean though, when Ralphie was on another food, his poop at one time measured, over a foot long. This picture is really gross, but I didn't edit or change the poop in any way, this came from little Ralphie when he was on Wellness Simple Limited Ingredient.
