Help!!

My daughter has had about 3 passing out episodes over the past 2 years. No findings. Advice was to eat better and drink water... she developed blank stare, unresponsive and dizziness over the past few months. April 10th she passed out and hit her head. Over the course of the month the blank stares, unresponsiveness has increased and now she has seizure like activity with her eyes, now its her right arm, and her right leg. Her seizure like activity has increased in length and several times a day...Test so far: 20 minute eeg, 24 hour eeg(had several episodes during the test), blood work,ekg, CT scan all which were normal except a small difference in her potassium. She has been in 3 hospitals, neurologist, cardiologist and her primary care doctor. Most seem to think is stress related. HOWEVER...the correlation to all her episodes is anywhere from 15-45 minutes after eating. I have done plenty of research and I am not convinced its stress related until a mental health professional says so. Has anyone experiences seizure like symptoms after eating? And advice where to take this next? Thank you in advance

Oh and just to add, they did say she had vertigo and referred me to an ENT.
