I honestly stopped to see if that was what helped or if it was a coincidence. Thanks so much! I will bring that up to her gastroenterologist Wednesday.
Scalp sensitivity is a common symptom of migraine-type headaches. There can even be "silent migraines" where you get all the symptoms EXCEPT the actual headache. I would recommend calling your closest children's hospital to ask for a referral to a headache specialist.
There's a link on this PFAPA information page to find a pediatric rheumatologist near you:

Why did you stop the probiotics? Is your doctor okay with you trying those again to see if it helps her symptoms?
Also, when you see a headache specialist, be sure to ask if the stomach pain could be related to her headaches. There is a form of migraine that can cause stomach upset and pain. So that's another possibility.
I hope you find answers soon, H.
Drs can be insensitive dolts. Can you just continue doing what you've done in the past? I have a different rare disorder. After wasting time with Drs I ended up on the university level teaching hospitals.
Maybe there is a school in the US where they study your child's disorder and you can get more recommendations.
