All brands have different feeding guidelines and some dogs can differ by up to 10% from the 'normal, recommended' amount to I recommend you check the bag carefully to see how much she should be expected to need daily. Grain free food does not suit all dogs, many domestic dogs digest processed cereals quite well and some do better on these than grain free brands. Sudden diet changes can cause mild gastrointestinal upset also, so if it is not settling over 5-7days I would return to her previous or a sensitive diet formula to see if it resolves again
