You really need to discus this with her pediatrician.  It sounds like a change of formulas is needed.  Her doctor would know what options would be best for her to try.

God bless.

Has your ped Dr said anything about her weight/ commented that she's in a low percentile for her height? You should make an appointment if she looses weight or you feel like she isn't meeting her goals.

You have her on some kind of soy or dairy free formula? Is it possible she has an intolerance to that kind of formula as well? You said her wind is fine, but are her bowel movements? Sometimes its just taste, if she isn't feeding well maybe she doesn't like the taste of her formula.
