Distilled water leeches a lot more than just 'heavy' minerals, magnesium and calcium included. Unless you can supplement her on the other side with a good ionic multimineral supplement, it's best to just add the Iodine into the tap water. My cats have been having positive reactions, and they will let you know if they need the Iodine or not by if they seek to lick the Iodine dropper! ;-)
Remember to upcycle the time period you've been treating your cat with distilled water- 7x1 month equals a little over half a year- that's about half a year of chelation therapy (which distilled water in part is).
Pet RDI's for minerals are guidelines for the dosing of minimum mineral intake for food (for example in this case catfood).
I think you had a good idea with the iodine, since it helps an animal utilize minerals from food that much better. If it has good reactions in you, then it possibly has good reactions on them! Just need care when dosing per body weight. :-)
One of my cats has had a huge appetite and swollen belly since we got him at 8 weeks old (adoption). He was treated for worms multiple times.. 'bout 5 months ago I was painting Lugol's 5% on my skin on the bed, and over he comes and starts licking the dropper tube! I was a bit alarmed, but he started purring and chasing it a bit. Imagine my surprise!
since then I've used it as an ingredient in treating my cats and in their water almost daily. cat #2 is much more picky, but he usually sits and -waits- for me to put the Lugol's drops in his water dish. It's a part of his ritual, with brushings while hes drinking as the reward. ;-)
The one that went purring for the Lugol's now has a completely unswollen belly, and he's still my 8-year old purrmachine. The moment I find a knot on him from fighting another mangy moggy or from removing a tick, he gets a few drops right away on the skin. He otherwise had big probs with infected pus from sores that had been slow to heal, before iodine.
The bad smell from infections, etc, means candidiasis problems- same for swollen belly and uncontrolled appetite, and difficulty loosing weight. Butyrate's another one of those ingredients that normalizes candida from it's infectious state.
Here's the story on a cat I was taking care of in late may this year - the vet who sterilized her said from the photos and progress of healing at the time of the operation, that she would have put the cat down, and was impressed! It's impressive what you can do with a little chemistry, patience and the right nutrative ingredients.
BTW, butyrate is now a -must- in my medicine cabinet, it's a beaut. 'Molecular effects of beautyrate' on youtube, tightens a leaky gut wall right up.

If you want to help rebalance your cat's mineral levels, I'd say offering some ionic minerals in a bowl of tap water when she's thirsty should help tell you what she's needing to up the energy levels. Calcium and magnesium are the primary ones that regulate energy metabolisim..
... and my cats do sometimes go over and drink the water from my Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate) footbaths. Also water from changing the aquarium, and little squink (the cat who had the mange, she's now with another family) decided on her own to go and drink the footbath water that I had put dead Sea Salt s in! Bitter, bitter, bitter stuff.. but cats have so much brain tissue dedicated to their olfatory nerves (nostrils) that it's no wonder they are their own instinctive pharmacists.
(Dead Sea Salt s are one of the types of ionic mineral sources out there, but you have to get your spa salts wisely, dead Sea Salt s are very high in bromine, which you don't want.)
