Hi John,  Sorry your American Bulldog has such discomfort!  You may want to have a Vet take a look at the ears and check them out for infection.
Yes, a low grain or grain-free food would be great.  
Here are some Tips:

Pure salmon oil - just 1 tablespoon per day
( great for skin and coat)

Ok, Please call the VET if the inside of your dog's ears has drainage and pus.
He may need a medication from the local Vet.

Hope this helps!
