I've had good success dusting feeders, but there's no harm in gutloading as well, as long as you keep the animal protein down like you said. I feed my dubias a variety of fresh veggies as well as a dusting schedule. Try the RO + added minerals thing and see if it works. If the bathroom was recently renovated I'd bet the copper has something to do with it. I'd also keep a little remineralized RO on hand in case of emergencies. If your toadie seizes again, try soaking in the remineralized RO water (monitored of course to prevent drowning). That'll help all the toxins leach out of its body if it got poisoned.
