Infant Having Itchy Bum Cheeks. Avoiding Gluten And Dairy. Is This A Type Of Food Allergy?

Hello,
I have a 3 year old that has had itchy bum cheeks for the last few weeks. I have tried to avoid Gluten and Dairy off and on. It's pretty much impossible to constantly avoid it. It seems to get better and then a bit worse again. Now it also gets itchy on her hips and tummy.
Does this sound like a food allergy?
She takes no medications and I know of no allergies yet.
