You can do allergy tests with blood now, you don’t need the prick test anymore.

What kind of food allergy testing was it?
For me when my body is over reactive, I react to almost everything in the skin tests and all kinds of foods make me react. But once my system calms down and the histamine reaction is under control and the inflammation is gone, I can eat those foods without issue. It isn’t a ‘true’ allergy. When my body is in allergic reaction mode, it reacts to everything (food, environment, animals, cosmetic and cleaning products). I use 20mg of cetirizine at night before bed. I take ibuprofen every morning. Sometimes I take another 10mg of allergy pills in the am.

Thank you again for your insights and ideas.
Some news - the allergist thinks it's Eoe, an allergic response that inflames the esophagus. He's been spitting up, but that seemed like a small detail given his other symptoms. He's also allergic to dust mites.
The gastroenterologist is next, and she advised we keep the psychiatry. The afternoon after the prick tests was horrific, with ambulances in the distance causing agony.
After reading more I found histamine can cause build build up of fluid in a eustachian tubes and eyes. The allergist suggested an over the counter antihistamine. That and a hotel stay have reduced the agony at sounds.
Still a way to go on what is triggering his eoe... and what triggered the extreme reaction to blue light/sounds. But progress.
Try different types of sunglasses.

If you’re really serious about diet try GAPS, with appropriate dietician/nutritionist support of course.
Also test for nutrient deficiencies in addition to allergies.
This except the GAPS diet, but I'd second a neurologist, eye exam and audiologist as well as a full physical.
GAPS is a great diet! It’s difficult to get started but I’ve seen huge improvements both in others and myself.
