It sounds like you may have developed a sensitivity to gluten. I think that's more likely than that the flour is bad or dangerous. Try a small bag of gluten-free baking mix. I know that King Arthur makes one that's supposed to yield good results -- you can buy it at kingarthur.com or amazon.com -- and see if that makes the difference.
Good luck.
