So how does one find out if one has a food intolerance? Is it a case of going to the doctor, or is it a case of cutting out certain foods until one seems to make a difference?

Yes, I'm an ignoramus. But I'm so cute!

It's best to start off with a food diary-keep a log of everything you eat and when you eat it and log also if you have any kind of reaction. After a couple of weeks you may see if there is any correlation between certain foods and health issues. The doctor may help with allergy tests but often they won't if they have no medical history reason for doing so (eg a severe allergic reaction) They will often ask you to keep a food journal anyway so do that before you see them and that should move them forward faster!

I think what you need to focus on first would be a gluten intolerance which can cause some of the symptoms you suffer from. I'll look further into it if you want and get back to you <3
