It's probably from all the food changes. Tender selects is terrible wet food. There are much better options out there. The only decent grocery store wet foods are fancy feast classic line, sheba pate, and friskies turkey and giblet pate. IMO there are no decent grocery store kibbles.

Mix some probiotics in her wet food and look at giving some slippery elm too. 

Here's info on probiotics with a list of human ones you can use for cats

Here's info on slippery elm and how to make a syrup. I syringe it to my cats, but some will eat it in food.

Purina Beyond is a pretty mediocre grain free food. It's very starchy, high in peas.

Why don't you just do all wet? Fancy Feast Classics and Sheba pates are pretty good for grocery store foods and have basically no starch.

There are a bunch of guides and tips on this website that will help you to get your kitty to eat wet food. It's typically much easier with foods like Fancy Feast since they have added flavoring

There are no grocery store kibbles that are even moderately good. Grocery store means any kibble you can buy at Walmart, Target, or whatever your local grocery store is. If you want something low cost, switch to what was mentioned above, low cost wet food such as Fancy Feast classic or Sheba. Remember, cats are obligate carnivores, which means they strictly need meat (and some essential vitamins and minerals) but nothing else. No veggies, no corn, no soy, no wheat, and whatever other junk is in those kibbles.

Tiki Cat is a good brand but all of the original varieties are heavy on seafood. The Gourmet Carnivore line has meat based foods.

Weruva and their lesser expensive brand Soulstic are similar to Tiki Cat with plenty of meat varieties. It's fine to rotate between a few brands of food as long as your cat's tummy can tolerate it.

Someone on another board once said that it's better to invest in good quality food now for good health than to feed inexpensive junky food and end up with expensive vet bills as the cat gets older and develop medical issues that may be from a life long poor diet.

There are actually two kinds of food in the original Tiki line that don't have seafood: there's one that's plain chicken shreds and one that's chicken shreds with bits of egg. Our cats love them! They like Gourmet Carnivore even more, though. All that said, at least some of Tiki's formulas are apparently changing...
