Communion wafers do not contain yeast because it’s unleavened bread, correct? I’m asking this because I just found out that I’m severely allergic to yeast. I would hate to stop receiving communion.

In the West, yes.
In certain Eastern Churches, including Eastern Catholic Churches, the bread is leavened.
However, the baking process would kill the yeast, would it not?

Check with your priest.Communion wafers do not contain yeast because it’s unleavened bread, correct? I’m asking this because I just found out that I’m severely allergic to yeast. I would hate to stop receiving communion.
I know that they have special hosts at our parish for people with allergies.
I’m not sure what the distinction is. Best to just call the parish office and ask them.

They shouldn’t have any yeast in them. However, if the allergy is serious, I would check with the supplier rather than testing them on myself.

I believe that hosts are suppose to be just be water and wheat in the Roman Catholic Church. So no yeast.
In that case it’s probably just low gluten hosts for those with celiacs. Check the link above if you’re interested.
