Take an over-the-counter allergy medicine such as Zyrtec.

DAY 2
Reintroduce fruit to your diet, starting with peaches, prunes, and bananas.
DAY 3
Reintroduce vegetables to your diet, avoiding "night shades".
DAYS 4-30
Reintroduce one new food each day noting it's effects. If you suspect an adverse reaction after eating a food eliminate it from your diet immediately, and try reintroducing that food in 30 days. Avoid nuts, dairy, night shades and gluten as well as frozen processed foods.
DAYS 31-60
Continue a gluten, nut, and dairy free diet. Continue to reintroduce other foods, noting progress and reactions, immediately eliminating any food you suspect may be causing a reaction.
