I had a tragic loss of a hatchling last year due to a congenital deformity of the digestive system. He was a sketchy eater, finally started eating regularly, and then prolapsed. Vet put it back, but to no avail.
The truth is, sometimes there's something wrong inside, and it can be very difficult to tell that the animal's not just a slow starter. I was literally a day away from selling him when he prolapsed--I had no idea there was anything seriously wrong, especially since he'd begun eating regularly.
Your girl, it sounds like something is seriously wrong. A snake with the proper temps, that's not being overhandled...well, it just shouldn't regurgitate, much less do so repeatedly.
I wish I could be more positive, but I don't think gut bacteria will fix something like this. (Frankly, I've always been skeptical of using products like that for reptiles, which must surely have very different species of gut flora than mammals do...yet the strains in the products seem to be the same ones used in humans).
I fear you are right, though I hope for the best and am looking at all my options.
