James L Gibb

Background & credentials:

James L. Gibb is an Australian author, educator and health researcher best known for writing Is Food Making You Sick?: The Strictly Low Histamine Diet (2014, 374 pages).
He holds a university diploma in education and has worked as an educator, novelist, and health-researcher focused on food-related illnesses.
Inspired by a family member’s chronic illness, Gibb embarked on a deep dive into nutritional interventions and natural alternatives to medications.

Like many authors he writes under a pen-name, because he prefers to keep his professional life separate from his writing.

In summary – James leveraged his educational background and personal experience with family illness to research histamine intolerance and propose a diet-based approach. His work combines thorough investigation, medical caution, and plenty of hands-on guidance for readers looking to explore food-related triggers behind their symptoms.

Is Food Making You Sick?

The book explores histamine intolerance (HIT), suggesting symptoms such as eczema, joint pain, anxiety, heartburn, migraines, and digestive disorders may stem from histamine-rich foods.

Gibb advises readers to consult medical professionals first, then try a strictly low-histamine diet for 4–6 weeks, omitting foods like chocolate, fermented vegetables, nuts, legumes, and alcohol.

The book is divided into two parts—detailed research on HIT with supporting evidence and practical recipes including nondairy milks, non‑yeast breads, sauces, entrees, and desserts.

How to Lose Weight: the Satiety Diet

Gibb co‑authored How to Lose Weight: The Satiety Diet, also published by Leaves of Gold Press, with Slovak translations available.

Reviews, including from Kirkus, praise his methodical research and motivational drive, calling the book “practical, valuable information that offers a measure of hope” for chronic-condition sufferers (Kirkus Reviews).
