How can someone with Celiac Disease consume the Eucharist?

[dcwendland]

I have just been diagnosed with Celiac disease and have been told that I cannot consume ANY gluten for the rest of my life. My doctor said that even consuming the “low-gluten” hosts will be severely harmful for me. I’m wondering what to do. I think I would need to consume the blood of Christ that isn’t contaminated by a piece of the body or other parishioners who have already consumed the body. Is this possible? If not, how do I handle this moral issue? I want to be able to partake in the Eucharist each week. What are the theological guidelines for an issue like this?

 

[Fr.Charles_Grondin]

If you are unable to consume the low gluten hosts then your parish should be able to accommodate you by having a separate chalice for you. Only the presider’s chalice is required to have a piece of the host broken into it. No other chalice is required to have a piece of the host.

USCCB:

The lay faithful who are not able to receive Holy Communion at all under the species of bread, even of low-gluten hosts, may receive Holy Communion under the species of wine only, regardless of whether the Precious Blood is offered to the rest of the faithful present at a given celebration of Mass.
