You could try switching back to the Chinchilla sand. OR replacing the sand area with substrate and just giving her a sand bath with the chinchilla sand - as long as she still has some sand she shouldn't make too much of a fuss. And see if it improves.

I also think some hamsters can be sensitive to sand and a different sand just may not suit her.

I know Racing Hamster had a number of issues with dwarf hamsters having sand reactions and actually stopped using it.
