Allergist and Immunologist 's  Response
Basic allergy is wheat or milk
All other things exagetarates the symptomps
I advise you to get blood serum tested for food specific antibodies for milk,wheat,nuts,rice,potato,egg
Go for elimination diet
Taking antiallergics is no answer this can be temporary control
the newr treatments of food allergies is Sublingual immunotherapy
which has been tried by many researchers
i have treated many patients of food allergies like this
You take temporary antiallergics till you get result
if you can post the results later i can guide you for SLIT THERAPY FOR FOOD ALLERGIES
I find this answer helpful
