Food allergy testing?

Did any of you fellow UCers get allergy tested to see if any foods bother your gut more than others? I know of some folks that have had gluten tests, but wondering if there's anything else other than trial and error that can help figure out what foods are worse during flares or even cause flares to start up again?

I adhere to a strict low residue diet during a flare. I limit veggies to canned green beans and carrots. Only soft, low fat, tender meats. Also no whole grains. Think white breads, pastas and rice. I'm in a lighter flare right now and it's mainly in the lower colon and I'm finding red meat and pork irritate me. I do fine with dairy but that seems to be individual.

Some sample meals.
Roasted chicken with lemon and potatoes (no skins)
Chicken noodle soup without onion
Turkey sandwiches/ turkey clubs and frozen French fries
Mashed potatoes
Pasta with olive oil
Eggs and egg sandwiches
Peanut butter
Oven baked Salmon and rice

Im not at all convinced that food causes a flare for me. I tried all of the diets and flared off gluten and dairy. I know for me that spicy food, even just a touch of Paprika, cayenne, red pepper, all give me diarrhea but I don't think contribute to flares.

I swear by low residue/low fiber while flaring and have gotten quite creative with recipes and happy to share if you like.

maybe this will help >

My mother has had 3 different food allergy tests from 3 different doctors each with different results. I don't have any faith in these tests.

i had "allergy" testing done a few times at a naturopath's office and the results were a joke. i did fine with all of the foods both "doctors" told me i needed to avoid. they said i was enjoying them so much because they were making me sicker...

anyway, i went to a real allergist and got skin pricks and blood tests done. absolutely no food allergies at all.

honestly, a food allergy is severe and you will suffer from wheezing, swelling, vomiting, and possibly need to use an epi-pen. the allergy tests some doctors do are not real allergies.

folks, just like mens underwear, not all tests are the same - putting out a blanket statement like "testing doesn't work" is ridiculous -

can anyone who's had testing, say exactly what testing was done and by who ?

I did testing for IgG titers followed up by traditional skin tests for various food allergies. Both showed that I was allergic to dairy (including casein that we see in cheese and yogurt), eggs, grapes, and some nuts.
I excluded it from my diet almost completely. A month later I was in complete remission if my UC and stopped mesalamine. It was a year ago and I am still in remission. Along with diet modifications I take probiotics. I do not know what helped more - diet or probiotics, but keep following the dairy and egg-free diet and do not drink wine and do not eat grapes and almonds.
