    Scott Adams

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Catholic Church Votes to Address Gluten-free Communion Issues
    Celiac.com 11/26/2014 - Catholics with celiac disease received some hopeful news recently, when the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted overwhelmingly in favor of drafting of a revision to the Guidelines for the Celebration of the Sacraments with Persons with Disabilities. The vote was 207 bishops in favor and one against, with one abstention.
    The bishops voted to change the guideline to accommodate people with celiac disease and others who cannot consume wheat, and have been unable to take full communion.
    Because churches are required to serve communion wafers that contain wheat, numerous people have been unable to consume the wafers, and have thereby been missing out on what many deem to be a crucial part of communion.
    Some Catholic churches have tried to accommodate...

    No, A Pastor Was Not Just Defrocked for Failing to Serve Gluten-Free Communion
    Celiac.com 04/12/2016 - A mainline Protestant pastor has not been found guilty of failing to serve gluten-free bread during communion and has not been defrocked for said indiscretion.
    An article credited to one Ligonberry Fields, described as a "Buzzvine Contributor," recently appeared on the Christianpost and stated that one Frankie Shaver was relieved of her duties as senior pastor of Cheap Grace United Methodist Church on Wednesday, after being found guilty by a tribunal headed by members of the Kansas-Alabama Board of Ordained Ministry (KA BOOM).
    The article included what appear to be numerous attempts at humor, many lost or muddled due to questionable syntax.
    Consider this description of "one UMCer, who requested anonymity and gender inclusive language when speaking to the...

    Vatican Bans Gluten-Free Bread for Holy Communion
    Celiac.com 07/31/2017 - For a time, it looked like gluten-free Catholics might be able to take full communion with special gluten-free wafers.
    But, gluten-free Catholics hoping to enjoy both the wine and the bread of a full communion had their hopes dashed this week, when the Church put the kibosh on gluten-free communion wafers.
    The decision was announced in a letter to bishops by Cardinal Robert Sarah, prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, and read, in part:

    "The bread used in the celebration of the Most Holy Eucharistic Sacrifice must be unleavened, purely of wheat, and recently made so that there is no danger of decomposition...It follows therefore that bread made from another substance, even if it is grain, or if it is mixed with another substance...

    Gluten-free Communion Bread Breaks Catholic Church's Canon Law
    Celiac.com 12/13/2022 - Being gluten-free presents some challenges for Catholics with celiac disease, especially if they cannot receive the host via the chalice, as was the case during the height of the Covid epidemic. We've done a few articles off gluten-free communion wafers, and on the church rules around them. 
    Communion Bread Must Contain "Some" Wheat
    Catholics with celiac disease who hope to take communion in the form of gluten-free bread or wafers are likely hoping in vain, because according to church law, all bread that is consecrated at the altar must contain a percentage of wheat.
    The latest confirmation of this reality comes via Sister Fiachra Nutty, from St Mary’s Abbey, in Waterford, Ireland. Sister Fiachra’s job up until September of 2020 was baking and ...
