Other possible illnesses were ruled out with a stool sample test.
As there is no way to confirm allergies in snakes like there is in humans (as far as I know) I'm assuming that this was an educated guess but hey, that's what I pay him for.
And she's doing fine now. Haven't had any further symptoms since switching the bedding back. Still keeping an eye on her but she seems alright for now.
