I was diagnosed with Celiac in 1951. In my earlier years I would request a tiny portion of a wheat host. I typically for many years would receive the Wine, which because it is the Risen Christ contains the Body and Blood of Christ, as does any consecrated Host. For the last 10 year I have take the "low-gluten host" without a problem. I receive the host about 5 times a week. All tests over these years have shown no gluten in my system. I am deeply grateful for the Sisters and their persistence in creating the "low-gluten host".
