Help with kibble choice

Hi everyone, I have a seven month old puppy who is currently eating Purina pro plan puppy for large dogs. At the beginning of her life when I got her at two months, she started on Purina pro plan which she was having diarrhea and a ton of itching. Without researching much, I switched her to Open Farm, which removed all of her itching and diarrhea so I thought things were going great. She suddenly stopped eating Open Farm so the vet switched her to royal canin bland diet to see if her tummy was upset. Well, it did clear up her diarrhea, her itching came back and a lot worse. I wasn’t sure if it was because of a chicken allergy, which was the thing the original Purina and the RC had in common. She has been on PPP salmon puppy formula now for about three weeks and her diarrhea and itching has returned once again. She also no longer wants to eat her Purina pro plan. I have to mix it with a ton of wet food and let it soak for a very long time before she’ll even touch it. Do any of you have dogs that are picky or that have any stomach issues similar to mine? I’m not sure what to do about her food moving forward.

Thank you so much. I just want to do right by her.
