The York Food Scan Test is the best. Expensive but worth it I'm sure. Doctors mainly test for true allergies such as peanut, shellfish etc. As well as digestive diseases i.e coelliac. It's rare that you'll find a doctor that will test you for an intolerance to foods. They are much more likely to test and give you results for true allergies.
Holland and Barret health food store do an intolerance test but I've heard that this isn't 100% accurate.
Something else you could do is to stop eating the foods you suspect you could be intolerant to for a couple of weeks, and slowly introduce them back into your diet one at a time, taking note of any symptoms after having eaten the food. You can test which foods you could be intolerant to by keeping a food diary and noting any symptoms you get up to 24 hours after eating the suspected food. However if you eat a lot of different foods in one day it may be harder to pinpoint which foods are causing the intolerance.
Hope this helps.
it should b. i believe they have a good reputation
I had one done in a health food shop but I don't know how accurate they are
Your local GP should be able to do spot tests to determine what you are allergic to.... If they can't help you for whatever reason, they are the best person to give you a refferal to an expert...
gonto your doctor too many cowboys around

Try your G.P.
