I am sorry this is happening. This is not my area of expertise but a basic question, would be ... did the vet , tell "what it is the food that you feed, that your dog has a "problem with?" Is it an actual allergy? Or is it an upset stomach?
Chicken and Rice, is usually a "Go To," for an upset tummy. But if your dog has an issue with Chicken? That's not gonna work.

It isn't an upset tummy. He cannot stop scratching himself. No parasites of any kind. He has had lots of different foods - at first the new food stops the scratching but after a few weeks it comes back again.I am sorry this is happening.

Hmm, well now this sounds a bit different? Typically short haired breeds, don't have a lot of itchy issues? So maybe, it's not "Food?" It's environmental? Does this happen all the time? Or does it happen at certain times a year?
In any case, a Keno-log Shot, would provide "temporary relief." Three to Four month's usually. And usually the "itchy issues," crop up in the Spring and early to late Summer? That's stuff I know from my GSD, I have never had issues, with my Boxer's or other short haired breeds.
When does the issue happen? Time of year?

It does sound like an environmental allergy, a food allergy usually presents as diarrhea and vomiting, there is an injectable allergy med. called cytopoint I would suggest you try and see if it settles him down. Environmental allergies can come from storage mites to air fresheners to cats or horses so could be anything
