Regularly Gets Sick With Cold, Sore Throat, Headaches, Stomach Bug. Any Permanent Solution ?

My son is 10 years old and regularly gets sick with colds tummy bugs etc... I have an allergy to grasses, latex, and corn. My son does not sleep well he is restless during the night and often wakes up. It is common for him to be irritable and hyperactive at different times and for a child of his age he has more regular sore throats, and headaches than most. I am now thinking he might also have a food allergy of some kind but have not had good experiences with allergists myself. I want him to be well and happy and don't want him to go undiagnosed of a food allergy until he is an adult like I was myself. I just don't know where to start to help him as I am still struggling to find foods for myself that don't give me an anaphylaxis reaction. I only recently drew a link to corn, and the link has not surprised any friend or family member as each remember a time involving corn when I was very sickly. I would appreciate any advice I can get to help my son because right now I am struggling enough dealing with my own allergy. Please help!

THE MAJOR FOODITEMA CAN BE MILK WHEAT POTATO CHANA RICE NUTS EGG AND YEAST
GET BLOOD SERUM TEST FOR SPECIFIC ANTIBODIES FOR MILK WHEAT POTATO CHANA RICE NUTS EGG AND OTHER FOODS
GET THEM ELIMINATED TO FIND RESULTS IN FEW WK
MILK IS MAIN CULPIT IN MANY AS THE CHILD NEED BREAST MILK FOR 2 YEARS AND NO MILK AFTER THE ADITION OF ANIMAL MILK CAUSES MANY DISEASES TO DEVELOP AS ANIMAL PROTEINS ARE NOT COMPETIBLE WITH HUMAN PROTEINS
ANY WAY CAN GET IN SERUM TESTS
