This sounds so restrictive to me. One of the many reasons I am leaving the Catholic church.

The church I am joining will let me bring anything I want for the host. It's going to be Ener-G pretzels for me.

I'm glad awareness of the this low gluten host is spreading. I hope it encourages other people with celiac to start talking to their pastors and dialoging about what communion means and the different ways we can receive. Change comes very slowly sometimes.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      @CeliacPI, I know this does not directly address your question but it is well-known that in the celiac population, intestinal diseases in general are statistically more common than they are in the general population - IBS, colitis, lymphoma, etc.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By CeliacPI · Posted

      My husband was diagnosed with Celiac in January 2025.  He has been on a gluten free diet since official endoscopy which confirmed Celiac.  He just recently had a colonoscopy where he was diagnosed with "Lymphocytic Colitis".  His Gastroenterologist said that Lymphocytic Colitis is also associated with Celiac Disease.  I have looked on this forum and don't see any mention of other people being diagnosed with this disease.  Can anyone tell me if they have also been diagnosed with this?  They also found "dysplasia" in the colon which is considered precancerous and therefore they need to do another colonoscopy using a special technique called chromoendoscopy which helps them find abnormalties in the lining of the colon.  I can see why having Celiac for 55 years without knowing it and eating gluten every day would likely not be kind to your intestines and colon.  I would think more people would have these types of issues.  Wondering if anyone else has dealt with this.  Appreciate any feedback and advice on how to manage.   Thanks!

      What is Xiromed? I see that it is a generic manufacturer, but not a drug.

      The site I posted earlier does include ALL ingredients, including ANY binders. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
