I think a food allergy is unlikely tbh, if it was that a reaction would most probably have shown earlier & the symptoms don't suggest that, trying to eliminate foods or switching back to a poor mix could just exacerbate the symptoms & possible nutritional deficiencies.
The scented sand could have been an issue depending on what was in it but it will take time now to know if that was causing or contributing to the problem.

Do you have a full list of ingredients for the new food rinn123?
