Stripe's poop started firming up so I started reintroducing veg and his poop is soft again. He's on benebac that he gets on a slice of pepper (gel).

I'm hoping off veg and on benebac it'll firm up the next couple days.

Can someone give me a plan on reintroducing veg? I had given him a tiny slice of cucumber, pepper, a couple pieces of romaine and some cilantro slowly adding more each day. I guess it was too fast.
 
Yes it sounds like it was too fast. Remove all veg again and wait for poop to normalise then wait a further 24-48 hours before reintroducing any veg . Reintroduce by giving just one sprig of cilantro for a few days. Then Increase to two sprigs for a few days. Then add in a small piece of lettuce and keep it at that for a few days. So in and so forth
