What is healthy for a leopard gecko besides crickets?

I just got a second leopard gecko and she is having problems with crickets. She puked up the ones she ate a while ago. She is definitely hungry since she eats everything I put in front of her. I did dust one cricket in calcium, so could that be a reason to make her sick? The pet store she came from did not take care of her well at all so I am trying to fatten her up and get more nutrients in her body. So for the time being, im thinking of just dusting waxworms in calcium and giving those to her, since she tolerates worms better. I know most worms do not provide as much nutrients as crickets, so what are some other easy-to-digest bugs she could eat? Are silkworms good for geckos?
I should add that she did have one mealworm after she threw up, and over the night I believe she pooped because there was fecal matter in the corner opposite of where the older gecko goes.
