We decided to put her on a sole source protein and carb to see how that would effect her. Well, whatever was in her food that I was feeding her (Premiumn Edge - all natural,w/Chicken) was the culprit. Now, after 3 months on Natural Balance - Duck and Potato, there is no more constant licking or scratching. But, I worried that she is not getting enough vitamins and minerals she needs from just Duck and Potato. I was thinking on starting her on the supplement Missing Link. Does anyone have or had this problem with the furbaby? And what did you do or recommend. ? Just curious. 
Thanks for any info.

Natural Balance is an excellent food and i'm sure she's getting everything she needs from it. You can add the missing link to her food but be sure to monitor her for any signs of the allergies coming back. if so then i'd take her back off the ML. you were right to switch her food. Some of the more common proteins like beef, chicken, turkey and lamb become allergy problems for dogs and cat so if you switch them to a less used protein like duck and venison their problems usually go away. good luck. i hope she stays itchy free
