You should not be feeding raw at the same time as grains (i.e. rice); they digest at different rates and can definitely cause stomach upset. If you want to do part raw, part cooked, feed cooked at one meal and raw at another meal, but not at the same time. Many, many dogs get diarrhea or soft stool for the first few days/week when they start raw; it's pretty normal.

I would actually strongly recommend that you just go 100%, "cold turkey" so to speak.

Having some bone would very likely help with the runny poop.

You may also consider a probiotic to help support good digestive function.
