Food for sensitive stomach

My retriever has always had quite a sensitive stomach - often first poo of day is solid but becomes increasingly less so during the day. I wondered whether anyone had recommendations for good food for sensitive stomachs. He seems to do better on fish based food. I've thought about BARF but think I would struggle with it.

Would appreciate any recommendations. He's also bonkers and a bit excitable (he's young but seems more bonkers and excitable than many dogs his age that I see) so any calming foods would be good as well Smile it may be unrelated but having kids who react to food it's made me wonder.....

No worries Bavarian Smile

Incidentally, my friend's whippet suffered from colitis / auto immune related digestive issues. The vet put him on Hills Prescription diet and steroids. Once my friend had spent clost to £1000 on this prescription diet (her insurance did not cover this) she said to the vet that she could not continue like this as it was crippling her financially. So vet said that Chappie was a good alternative and that they once used to feed it to all dogs in their care who were hospitalised with digestive issues. She started feeding Chappie and it did not set her dog back at all. This was a year ago now and her dog is still doing well on Chappie. She has moved from Chappie tinned to Chappie dry with no ill effects.
