Two quick thoughts come to mind:
1.) Delayed impaction from the original sand - might be able to see this through its belly if you hold it up to a strong light and look through, almost like an x-ray. Also check the droppings for blue bits, it can take a while to get through the system.
2.) Might try to lower the cool side a bit...
In the meantime, stop misting the cage! You can make a humid hide and mist that, but don't raise the humidity of the whole enclosure or you risk illness. I'm in a bit of a minority, but I think UVB bulbs really do make a difference in the growth rates of baby leos - of course, this is just our experience and a handful of others I've spoken with. I would say to look for signs of impaction, don't mist, and see if you can do anything about the temperature. Give it a few more days - try offering food every 3rd day, leaving longer between intervals is actually something our vet suggested once after a gecko stopped eating post antibiotics. All else fails, call around and find a good herp vet and have a wellness and fecal done. Good luck!
