Diane S. 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 I have been concerned recently about taking low-gluten communion hosts at church. I have not had any obvious problems with taking the host. Am I risking my health overall by taking them? I only take one a week on Sunday. Quote & Reply Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ennis_TX 763 Report post Posted February 27, 2018 Depends on the host, who makes them, how much you eat it, and the person. I react to stuff below 20ppm if in constant exposure I learned from some CCed hemp protein that tested at 16ppm, took me a week to start getting symptoms. I think the main "low Gluten" host was below 5ppm? Your probably not doing too much damage but I would personally see about taking it monthly instead of weekly, or take a anti gluten enzyme "Gliden X" just to be a bit more sure since it can help with CC symptoms. I would like to think of what your doing as taking 3 steps forward 1 step back every week in a healing rate just to put it into a odd perspective. I do not wish to judge but depending on your pastor/priest/church leader you might be able to do what I did. I make gluten free bread myself and have my pastor bless it and let me have it for our communion, I just feel safer this way and honestly believe god does not wish me to be sick and would accept this. 1 Diane S. reacted to this Quote & Reply Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diane S. 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2018 Thank you for the information. I am going to research this a little more. I am not sure how much gluten is in the host. Quote & Reply Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
