How to better handle allergies

Test results meaning?
Hello!
I have long suspected a milk allergy as I itch all over as soon as I eat anything dairy, have heart palpitations and have long had unexplained joint pain.

How to gain weight???
I’m currently around 90 pounds and I find it so difficult to gain weight. I’m allergic to gluten, dairy, nuts, high fructose corn syrup, soy, apples, bananas, cauliflower, soybeans, shrimp, scallops, and sesame seeds.
