Fun fact: This is not actually much different from the process of testing which foods trigger your IBS.
After keeping the low FODMAPs diet, wherein you initially remove all possible triggers, you then test them one by one to see which ones you have specifically.
When you have multiple allergies/intolerances, starting at zero and then adding one thing at a time is a lot more efficient than removing one thing at a time.
Removing one thing at a time will create many false negatives, where you remove a hit but don’t notice because you left another hit behind.

I feel like a binary search method would work too
