By eliminating suspect foods one by one for a week at a time until the allergic reaction disappears, which would then tell which food is causing the allergy.

December Competition : Allergy
The sure way is a skin prick test with a allergist to determine specific allergies. One could also get a simple blood test to see if a general allergy is present. However, based on my own experience there are signs that can give you advanced warning. For example, did either parent have allergies as a baby/toddler. Does the baby/child seem to (1) vomit frequently (2) not want to eat certain types of foods (3) scratch often (4) always seems like they have an endless cold (4) rashes (5) constant diarreah.

A common way of diagnosing an allergy is by a skin prick test, where the suspected allergen is introduced to a child's forearm by pricking the skin. A positive reaction produces a swollen lump with a white weal in the center; the bigger the lump the more severe is the allergy.
