Nickie Dumke enjoys helping people with food allergies and gluten intolerance find REAL solutions to their problems. Her quest to help others with multiple food allergies began 20 years ago and culminated in The Ultimate Food Allergy Cookbook and Survival Guide. This book has helped many people come back from near-starvation; her other books address issues such as time and money pressures on special diets, keeping allergic children happy on their diets (Allergy Cooking With Ease), and more.
She is now also helping those who are overweight due to allergic inflammation (often due to unsuspected food allergies) and/or high-in-rice gluten-free diets. Her unique approach to weight and health in Food Allergy and Gluten-Free Weight Loss is based on body physiology and reveals why conventional weight-loss diets work against rather than with our bodies and therefore do not result in permanent weight loss. To hear about hunger-free weight loss after many years of struggle without losing, see the review for this book by J. Trimble on the book's Amazon purchase page.
Nickie has had multiple food allergies for 30 years and has been cooking for special diets for family members for even longer. Regardless of how complex your dietary needs are or how much or little cooking you have done, she has the books and recipes you need. Her books present the science behind multiple food allergies and weight control in an easily-understood manner. She has BS degrees in medical technology and microbiology and lives in Louisville, Colorado.
