I was just wondering can someone get the host pre prepared in a liquid form if they have a certain disability or would that go against, what the church has laid down for requirements when it comes to the host?
 
Rather than receiving the host, someone could receive the Precious Blood. Either species is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of our Lord.
 
Precious Blood would be the correct form to receive Eucharist in. However if the person is unable to attend mass then you would need to ask the priest to save some at the mass since the Precious Blood is normally consumed at mass and not reserved for home-bound ministry.

No. The Precious Blood is not to be reserved fro any reason.
Eben people who are dying and have little saliva are given an extremely tiny piece of the Body of Christ.
Now, if at Mass, one may certainly receive from the cup, after consulting with the priest and receiving his advice on the mate.r

Agree.
 
A host dissolved in liquid ceases to have the form of bread, and thus ceases to be the Body of Christ.
 
The matter must be bread. There is no such thing as bread in liquid form.

There is an exception for this very reason, though. Rare, yes, but possible.

USCCB
Reserving The Precious Blood

May the Precious Blood be reserved in the tabernacle?
The Norms for the Distribution and Reception of Holy Communion under Both Kinds in the Diocese of the United States, no. 54, states the Precious Blood may never be reserved, “except for giving Communion to someone who is sick.” When this is done “the Blood of the Lord is kept in a properly covered vessel and is placed in the tabernacle after Communion.” The Norms go on to say that “*f some of the Precious Blood remains after the sick person has received Communion, it should be consumed by the minister, who should also see to it that the vessel is properly purified.”

The approved procedure for dealing with the Precious Blood which remains after a Eucharistic celebration is addressed in no. 52 of the Norms. The consecrated wine is never to be poured into the ground or into the sacrarium. Rather, it is to be consumed by the ministers after Communion is completed.*

Well, I’ve heard beer referred to as “liquid bread” due to its carbohydrate content, but clearly that’s another matter.
