Who to see about food issues?

It's been over a year since I have been working with GI to figure out my crazy issues with food. Currently, I am dairy free, gluten free, nut free, and mostly FODMAP but am still having issues. Gluten is definitely an issue, that seems to cause migraines and has been fairly easy to pinpoint, but that is the only thing that I have been able to say definitively.

Is there a specialist that helps figure out what foods are triggering health issues? I have an appointment with GI soon and will definitely ask.

There has to be a specialist who deals with this, right?

This is a great question that I'd like to know the answer to as well! It is a very difficult web to navigate. I've chased food issues for one of my DSs and now DH is having some really weird symptoms as divergent as reflux, IBS, and sporadic hives. I'll be watching this with interest!

I don't have personal experience but I've had several friends helped by a functional/integrative medicine specialist. Look for an MD/OD with functional medicine training.

I 2nd this. In my experience, most traditional doctors don't have much knowledge of gut health and a lot of them aren't willing to admit that certain foods could be damaging to our gut health beyond obvious allergic reactions. Find a good functional medicine Dr and prepare to pay a pretty penny.
