Can I test for food intolerances?

I already know through trial and error that I can’t have gluten, soy or dairy but there must be more since it feels like eating food is a game of Russian roulette. Either I feel fine or I lie awake at almost 6am feeling like hot garbage and wondering where I went wrong.

My doctor never even told me there’s a correlation between food intolerances and hashimotos so there’s that (I also have other diagnosis so idk if the food aspect just got pushed aside because of that). I know I can get tested for things like celiac which I do intend to do but I’m someone who grew up not going to doctors (mom is anti vaxx and anti science) so do excuse my ignorance. Can I just get a test and get a list of foods I can’t eat? Or do I need to trial things at home and see what happens? I’m asking because it seems logical that I can get a test but I’ve also heard about people cutting out almost all foods to then reintroduce foods bit by bit until they end up with a list of foods they can’t eat.

Tldr can I get tested for all food intolerances at a doctor’s office or do I need to do it at home?
