Why Gluten Free And Allergy Friendly?

Every day you hear about more and more people who've been diagnosed with a food allergy, sensitivity or intolerance. For many, avoiding certain foods is not a choice, but a necessity.

  • Between 4% and 8% of the general population has a food sensitive allergy. Ninety percent of all food allergies are caused by the following eight foods: milk, wheat, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish and eggs.
  • About one out of every 133 persons, or approximately 3 million people in the United States, has celiac disease and cannot ingest gluten, the protein found in wheat, rye and barley. While there is not yet conclusive medical evidence, the symptoms of a number of other conditions like autism, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, may possibly be helped by the elimination of gluten in the diet.
  • In many households, when one person has a food allergy, sensitivity or intolerance, the entire household eliminates that allergen from the house.
  • There is a common misconception that gluten free and allergy friendly food products are short on taste. In fact, that doesn't have to be the case. Huge improvements in texture and taste have been realized and I Can Have That! has searched out the best of the best. We have a whole cadre of tasters, some with food allergies, some with gluten intolerance, and some without any dietary restrictions at all, who sample and approve every item in our baskets. The food in our baskets is truly delicious!
