Food Diary and the Elimination Diet
It is recommended that you keep a food diary and record everything you ingest, and how you felt, that way you may be able to conclude that "yes, eating bread triggers my symptoms" and then you can eliminate bread from your diet - then you may wish to determine, is it the wheat in bread, or is it the yeast? And you can try having just wheat or just yeast and see if that triggers you.
There is a full elimination diet (typically the RPAH - Royal Prince Alfred Hospital - diet) that a lot of people with allergies or autoimmune disorders try. You cut out everything except what is generally accepted to be allergy safe (unless you react to that food, then you will need to tailor your elimination diet - there are dietitians who specialise in this so called Failsafe diet! Here is a list of those in Australia.) for about a month and reintroduce foods one at a time, if you react to a food it is best to resume your failsafe diet to remove symptoms before trying another food (and avoid the reactionary food).
There is a lot of Australian research on the topic of food intolerance and failsafe diets, this includes sensitivities to artificial colours, flavours and other additives. https://fedup.com.au/
Some people are also intolerant to oxylates, salicylates and other food occurring chemicals. There is even information on choosing salicylate free health and beauty products. http://www.mysensitiveskincare.com/salicylate-free-products.html#axzz4jC7TBmZl
I found keeping a food diary on paper was hard! I'm currently searching for a smartpone app where I can easily add all my commonly ingested foods.
