There are lots of resources available to you, food allergy support groups and recipe websites, Living Without Magazine (http://www.livingwithout.com/welcome.htm), health food stores and on-line stores that sell specialty products free of specific allergens, allergy cookbooks, etc.
http://www.kidswithfoodallergies.org/index.php
Go to your local health food stores and browse through the allergy cookbooks. Talk to the people that work there, they should be knowledgeable about the products they carry for people with multiple food allergies.
These are great websites because you can do a product search according to your child's specific allergens:
http://www.allergygrocery.com/search.php
http://www.glutensolutions.com/store.asp
A few companies with products that don't have most of the top common food allergens:
https://www.namastefoods.com/shopping/storefront/cgi-bin/news.cgi?Category=Home
http://www.enjoylifefoods.com/content/Allergy.asp (read ingredient list, not all products here are free of yeast)
http://www.foodforlife.com/ (they make some yeast free breads)
Food allergies can seem very overwhelming at first. Just take some time to research safe/unsafe ingredients, educate yourself on how to read labels, finding products and recipes that you can use that meet your child's specific allergy requirements, and modifying recipes with substitute ingredients, in time it will become routine. Best of luck to you!

I do not know,,, how health oriented you are. But ,, I suggest that You start searching health things out. If We started communicating in emails, I would be happy too suggest another idea n health oreintation!!!!!! I am gettingg more health oreintated with all the scares that I have had with medicines n things in the last couple of yrs. It is pretty scarey idea with all that they are putting out n pulling off the counters,, n prescriptions!!!!!!!! Really a thotful idea also,,, is the bio-feedback that they can do with that also. I really suggest ,,,, the natural way,,, with out the medicine chemicals also with that seeming to come on so young. So many young ones out there coming up with so many different things that we did not hear of twenty or thirty yrs ago. Do as you want,,, feel free too check into my 360 circle for health url there also. Something I have no regrets of doing. And dr should be able too tell you what n how that test is n will help. Honestly,,, will ask you how you got that results it is cheaper than what drs charge you!!!!!! Hope answers come soon n freely.

I was going to say cheese, but being on an anti-yeast diet myself - any fermented food is off the list, as well as mushrooms.
Yeast free cookies should be do-able - as most of them (especially home-made) use baking powder or baking soda.
Has your son been checked for high insulin (hyperinsulinemia)? Sometimes that underlying condition can aggravate allergies. If you have a family history of diabetes, hypoglycemia or other blood sugar related conditions, you may want to check out www.hufa.org for some basic info on blood sugar imbalances and other symptoms they can cause.

Yikes! It's not an easy road, but you can do it! Try going to the food allergy network's site or something similar. They often have great advice. They're a non-profit and a pretty good watchdog. GOOD LUCK!

You can give some plain soft nuddles or eg nuddles for a change. Hope you get maggi nuddles over there. Easy to prepare. If he likes you can make it in a soupy form also and give.

Yoghurt. Home made biscuits and stuff. Frozen grapes (kids love them!)
