It is true that dragons do always contain some amount of coccidia in their bodies. However, it is when stress or something else causes the population of coccidia to multiply that problems occur. However from the diet you describe you give your dragon, I think that is the main reason he has runny stools. Romaine, carrots and squash all have a high content of water and fibre which can cause runny stools. Nor are they good stable vegetables to be feeding your dragon.

The best stables to feed are collard greens, dandelion greens, endive, escaroli, mustard greens or turnup greens. Other greens, such as kale, romaine, Chinese cabbage etc, are added for variety. Then a small protion of various vegetables can be added for variety as well, such as carrots, squash, peas, stringbeans, bell peppers etc. But the bulk of your greens should be 2-3 of the first group I mentioned. (ie Collards to turnup greens)

As your dragon is still young, he should still be getting one or two feedings of insects every day, dusting one feeding 2-3 times a week with calcium/multivitamin powders. Good insects are crickets (no bigger than space between the dragon's eyes) silkworms, some superworms, hornworms, various species of soft bodied roaches or butterworms.
