About

I have over 30 years of experience researching and cooking for food allergies and special diets. I believe in a holistic approach to health that deals with the whole person rather than treating symptoms. I truly believe you are what you eat.

 

In 2008, I created Don't Feed Me, LLC and launched or website www.dontfeedme.com in an effort to provide needed informaton for people with Celiac disease and various food allergies.

Description

<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding &quot;No&quot;; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br /> This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvation and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit the kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home. </p>

Story Behind The Book

At 14 months of age, my granddaughter Aivah was diagnosed with Celiac disease and a casein allergy. This began my long journey to finding healthy, nutritious gluten-free and dairy-free foods to feed a small child. This journey has been a road of trial and error, littered with some really bad food and many successful recipes. This cookbook is perfect for those new to the gluten-free, dairy-free lifestyle.

Reviews

<p>A book that helps people wade through the daunting prospect of going gluten-free is a wonderful resource to have. There are wonderful recipes to try.<br /><br />Dr. Kevin Wand, D.O.<br />Midwest Wellness Center<br /><br /><br />By far the most informative and detailed description of gluten-free, dairy-free cooking. The recipes are simple and delicious, even if you're not gluten or dairy intolerant. However, if you are, after reading this book you will come away completely understanding these intolerances and allergies and know how to live a happy, health life.<br /></p> <p>Erin Paulsen, B.A., M.S.<br /><br /><br />My son was diagnosed with Autism in 2004 and we have been following a gluten-free and casein-free diet since 2008 with success. It was a pleasure reviewing the Don't Feed Me book as Joyce has taken the time to research the information, understand the trials of a GFCF diet and pass along her personal insight. Due to necessity, she is dedicated to the book and the other Don't Feed Me products. Thank you, Joyce.</p> <p>David Kennison</p>
