Would there be an issue for someone to by pass the host and go straight to the wine? I was thinking not, but a friend said no.
There are low gluten hosts available. I am wondering if they went up for the wine only if that would be an issue.No, one is free to do so. They could also ask that a “gluten-free” host be set aside for them, if the parish has any (it has a very low amount of gluten- only what’s necessary for the host to remain bread).
I’ve never heard of this being an issue, and I’m a former Sacristan. There are some who have zero tolerance for gluten and cannot receive even the low gluten hosts, so they consume just the Precious Blood.I am wondering if they went up for the wine only if that would be an issue.
No, you’re free to decline the host just as you’re free to decline the Precious Blood.Thom18:![]()

Never met one of those. I know someone who had celiac disease for years and didn’t know it until having a crisis and taken to the ER. So seems to me all hosts are low gluten.There are some who have zero tolerance for gluten
Not all of them, no. Though I imagine that since different groups make them, they may have varying amounts of gluten. You can tell a host is gluten free just by looking at it: no tan color at all, it’s basically pure white.So seems to me all hosts are low gluten.
How do you feel about this? Do you feel like things have gone skidding sideways when there’s a low gluten option?I wonder if any of the disciples asked Christ this at the last supper… unbelievable.
I’m not a gluten expert at all. I have been told that the grains have been genetically altered to have bigger yields, to be resistant to disease, and they get sprayed with chemicals. Along with everything else we put in our bodies, like fumes from cars, and indoor air quality, it seems to me something has got to give. If someone removes gluten from their diet and feels a lot better, that is a pretty easy fix compared to something like diabetes. With pollution and plastics, and poor eating habits, our health is on the decline.Personally I think it is a fad. All of a sudden everyone is allergic to gluten.
