First read the book "Fed up" & "friendly foods". Both should be available from your library. Fed up has a website, and friendly foods is from the allergy department at the RPA Sydney.
Next step is to find an allergist who specialises in food intolerances (very hard to find as most don't do it as it is just too hard). If you are in Melb I can PM you a name.
Then you need to find a dietician who can support you in this - it is a lot of hard work and you need guidance into making sure everybody is still getting their nutritional requirements. Fed Up has a list of dieticians who do this. Once again, if in Melb I can PM you a name of one we are currently using.
We are in the middle of it all, have been doing it since start of Dec. It is hard work, but it is short term pain for long term gain.. I already know some of the stuff I react to, and there is no way to do it other than a total elimination diet.
A food diary might help, but the problem with intolerances is that the reaction can be delayed - by several days even - and only occurs after you hit your tolerance threshold, so it's very hard to pinpoint the culprit.
There is a dietician in Perth who specialises in this also - Joy Anderson - she does email & phone consults if you have a hard time finding someone locally.
