The Missing Ingredient for Good Health

I recently switched my dog from Blue Buffalo food to Wellness Core, and it seems to be giving him diahrrea (I switched gradually over a period of a few weeks, so that’s not what gave him the diahrrea).
I’m thinking because wellness is absolutely grain free, that might be what’s bothering him… he needs the grains to kind of bind him up a little maybe????
I know Chicken Soup brand is usually included on the list of high-quality dog foods, but I noticed that it is not grain free….
So I’m thinking of either switching to that or mixing it with the wellness, but anyway, can someone explain to me what the big deal exactly is with grain free diets?

I’m still a little confused about all these dog foods….. Advice?
Currently, we are using Purina Pro-Plan Puppy for small breeds. I’ve always been told that you need to look at the first 5 ingredients to determine if its a healthy food. I also know that real meat needs to be the first ingredient listed. No “by product” or anything like that. However, I’m confused about the grains. Is there suppose to be grains or not? Some people say yes, some say no. When I’ve had foods recommended to me, I read the first 5 ingredients and there always seems to be at least one thing that I’ve been told to avoid. lol I’m so confused. I’ve spoken with people at Petsmart, I’ve talked to my vet, I’ve talked to friends, I’ve talked with my breeder….. Everyone has slightly different advice and I’m still confused. lol
Here’s the first 5 ingredients of the food I’m currently using:
-Chicken
-Corn Gluten Meal
-Brewers Rice
-Whole Grain Corn
-Animal Fat preserved with Vitamin E (this just sounds weird. lol)
If someone could please tell me if its okay. If its not, what exactly is not good for them (and why if you don’t mind elaborating)? I’m just looking for a little education. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Earth Witch. GREAT site. Thanks, I’ve never seen that one before.
I hate trusting my vet and people at Petsmart about food because I feel like they are “sponsored” by a certain brand of food, so of course their gonna chat it up. Everyone has been helpful so far. Thanks so much!
