Testing for FODMAPs

I am considering giving the FODMAPs approach a try. I already follow almost everything on this diet except for wheat, apples/applesauce, and some occasional soy.

I am primarily interested in seeing if eliminating wheat will help my symptoms.

How does one test for an intolerance for wheat (Fructans) and the other categories for FODMAPs?

If I eliminate them from my diet how long before I would notice any change if I do indeed have an intolerance?

I have not had any wheat or other FODMAP triggers since Monday (it is now Wednesday evening here) but have been feeling terrible since Monday when a tunafish salad with Smart Balance Mayo on a white flour tortilla had me half dead. This prompted my wheat-exclusion trial. Still been feeling sick yesterday and today when I didn't have wheat, but this should be normal since it generally takes me a few days to recover from a bad spell.

Is there a certain point I should add wheat back in to test for symptoms? It seems like I have nothing to eat at home it all has wheat!
