If you're as upset and angry as you say you are, there's definite possibility that the pup is very stressed, which will definitely lead to diarrhea. I want to emphasize that the pup does NOT know what he's doing wrong. Pups don't know anything at that age, wrong OR right. So first thing is calm down and make sure you're not getting upset at the puppy.
He also needs to be checked by a vet and a fecal sample taken in when you go. He might be sick or might be allergic to something you're feeding.
Edited to add: it's important to make sure you take the puppy out immediately after eating or drinking water so he can relieve himself. Keep him out there with you for at least 10-15 minutes to give him a chance to eliminate. Walking him around helps a lot.
The puppy is also unable to control diarrhea at all.... much more difficult than normal poops. You will be much happier when the organ meat diarrhea is gone.
And the walking around -- that's crucial for many dogs before pooping. The exercise gets the peristalsis going. I have one who zips back and forth in the yard when we go out, until his bowel is ready.... he just knows that he has to move around to get it going.

Yes, Because he had no diarrhea before the diet change, and because the organ meat amount is way off, I'd probably give it a day or two without the possible dietary triggers. Then if he doesn't start normalizing his poops, I'd get a fecal and drop it off.
And Carol's suggestion about just the poultry RMBs for now is a good idea. Balance is trumped by getting his digestion back to normal.

What breed of dog, I did not see it in the previous posts?
I feed 3 to 5% of the puppies ideal adult body weight. You may want to start by weighing it out so you can get an idea of what the amounts look like.
Ember will probably weigh about 45 to 55lbs I am thinking so she gets 4% right now. Approximately 2.0 lbs of food.
I started by feeding her ground turkey and cut up sirloin and The Honest Kitchen "Force" dehydrated food with some yogurt added in. After a few days I added in some chicken breast (bone in) along with the turkey and yogurt.
I am phasing out the THK as a main part of her diet as I am getting more comfortable feeding her meat, veggies (not a whole lot) and am just now starting her on supplements of Salmon Oil and Vitamin E, Kelp and Alfalfa. I am leaning more towards Cindy's menu that I posted before.
Hope that helps.

Carol, he got shots about Jan, 15. I have read some of the thigs on this web site about not giving vac. and I realy like the idea of not geving them, but my husband is in the U.S. Army and we live on an army post and we have no choic wether to give them to our dog or not. The other bad part is that he's getting more this week . No happy about that

I'll let someone else explain titers to you (has to do with immunity to a disease, like rabies, distemper, etc), but don't let the vet give your pup any vaccinations while it still has diarrhea or is sick in any way! Do as Carol said and ask whoever it is on base if titers are acceptable and ask also about what vaccinations are absolutely required and when, then give nothing else but those. The vet may say one thing (they think everything is required), the base may say another. Find out for sure what IS required by the base.
