Thanks for your reply Souffle.
We had visited three different vet already. On 28/11, we found out that her bottom part was wet but the poo was still solid at that time. We brought her to the first vet on 29/11, he said that she was doing fine and maybe related to the change of food at that time (we were giving her Nature's Touch Hamster 500g at that time). The vet then gave us Oxbow Critical Care and suggested us to give her kiwi daily, and at the same time we got her Harry Hamster Complete Muesli 700g (this is the food that we gave her at first).
Besides Harry Hamster Complete Muesli (but we took out all the sunflower seeds), we gave her almond, pumpkin seeds, Harry Hamster Yuppies with apple and sweetcorn and other snack made with Linseed. (maybe 1 or 2 times a day as a treat and snacks are randomly picked, not feeding all at a time)- Please correct me if I gave her wrong food.

On 5/12, her bottom part is still wet and smelly, her right hand stomach start getting bigger (I thought it was lump) so we brought her to another vet on the same day. The vet said they have checked her heart beat and everything and said she was fine, so they were thinking it was the early stage of wet tail, they gave her 5 days baytril. And they said the stomach is getting bigger is just because she was full. After we gave her the medicine, her had her first wet poo.

5 days later, we visited the vet again, the vet said she was getting better so she gave her 7 more days baytril and at that time her weight was 123g.

After a week, we didn't see any improvement so we brought her to the third vet (they told me they are specialist)and this vet is recommended by another vet. We visited the third vet on 19/12, he said that its related the change of food and nutrition imbalance, the lack of fibre lead to poo was not formed normally and there were gas in her stomach and thats why the belly is getting bigger and bigger.

---------------
I have checked her teeth, it was fine and wasn't too long and she didn't lose appetite so far. She drank 2.5 cc water yesterday (didn't drink too much so I guess there are not serious infection in her body). For the fibreplex, after the first day she took it herself, she doesn't like it anymore, I just put a little bit on pumpkin seeds and give it to her twice a day. I guess she is still hungry because she didn't take much fibreplex and thats why she always take most of the food from the container. I am scared that she is suffering from womb infection as well because the symptoms looks the same.

I would get her babyfood and do you have any recommendation like flavour or is there any ingredients I should avoid getting it? and also plain chicken and sunflower seeds.

Recently I got her JR Farm Oat Bites, JR Farm Apple Chips and Vitakraft Green Rollis, is there anyone of them can relief her pain?

Thanks a lot and sorry that the reply is a bit too long.
