My 6-month-old kitten has gas and soft poop. Should I change his food?

Question

I have a 6 month old kitten that I've had for a little over a month. He seems to be passing gas quite regularly but they aren't super horrible smelling and the smell dissipates quickly. He has smoochy poop sometimes but not all the time. He eating Purina Complete since he wouldn't eat the kitten foods much... and I tried. He has no other issue and seems in great health Should I be concerned or try a different food.. Maybe more high protein? Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Male | neutered | 6 months old | 6.5 lbs

Hi. With loose stools at this age, I would first have the fecal checked for worms. I would also have him examined and make sure all is ok from the outside, then if all is ok, I would switch to kitten science diet, kitten royal canin, or iams kitten slowly over 5-7 days.
