well not knowing what condition you’re talking about, or what allergies you’re referring to.. I’m not going to be much help.
I do know that many severely allergic (multiple allergy) babies have been put on elemental formulas with quite a bit of success. I do also know a couple adults who have had severe digestive problems caused by undiagnosed food allergies who have had to resort to feeding tubes, pureed foods, and formulas in order to give their system the rest it needed to heal. Its not very appetizing but you have to do what you have to do to get better.
I’d really weigh your options and maybe even get a second opinion if you’re doubting your doctors advice. Many allergies can be avoided easily, and some are more difficult. But it sounds like you may have damage from eating your allergens, which is why the suggestion of elemental formulas.
Do use caution though, if one of your allergies is corn or soy.. formulas may not be successful and you may have to look into a pureed food diet. But do a search online for advice on those if thats your allergy issue.
Good Luck

No, and it sounds rather extreme. Most foods in your supermarket contains preservatives, pesticides and other additives which makes it difficult if you’re sensitive, which you apparently are. Try getting food stuff from a local farmer, greenmarket as they are grown in soil that don’t use pesticides, and meat in which antibiotics and growth hormones are not used, and they are grass fed which makes it healthier for you. All packaged goods, frozen, and canned foods have preservatives/additives which doesn’t have to be listed. Your best option would be to cook it yourself using (organic) virgin coconut oil (which is also great as a moisturizer on your skin. Try this website for it and other products as well as a health report.

1st
Definitively find out WHAT and to What Degree you are Allergic to EACH food.
A FOOD allergy Blood Test will test you for common Foods.
The Test will test you for Immediate / IgE and Delayed / IgG4 FOOD allergies.
Because FOOD allergy is addressed via DIET alone…
the FOOD allergy Lab will generate a FOOD Diet plan based on YOUR FOOD Allergy Profile ..
it will suggest: Foods to EAT, not Eat & Restrict along with other Helpful Info.
Regard Liquid FOOD .. it is prob an Enteral Nutrition source .. OK .. but is are your FOOD allergies causing Health Issues to require this supplement ?
