I apologize if there has been a thread on this, but I did a search and nothing came up.

When the rice/corn gluten issue came up last week I got nervous and switched my three kitties from Nutro NC to EVO no grain. I didn't have time to ween them off since I thought the Nutro was bad. After two days of eating it two of the cats got diarrhea and stopped using the box. They would pee in the box but not poop. If they did poop it was half in the box and have out of it. One of the cats even pooped on the wall. (gross I know) Since Nutro said their product was safe I switched them back 3 days ago. The ones stool is starting to firm up but he is still not using the box. The other cat still has diarrhea and is not using the box.

Should I be worried about anything or just give them time to get back into their normal food?

I agree...and also maybe offer them a couple of extra and/or new litter boxes. Make sure the poo is cleaned thoroughly...their noses are much more sensitive than ours.
