If you have a wheat allergy or coeliac disease how do you cope with Holy Communion?

The Catholic doctrine believes that the wafer and wine taken at Holy Communion are the body and blood of Christ, and therein lies a major problem for someone with a wheat or gluten allergy.

I am of course being facetious. Eating out 99% of the time on a wheat free diet sucks!

Visiting friends just before Christmas we went to a local hostelry for lunch. The menu consisted of fried, battered or breaded foods, burgers, fries & lasagne. Even the salads came ready made with the croutons on, and a “well we could pick them off for you”. I don’t think so.

We have been contacted with some interesting information from Josie about her son's tentative diagnosis of petit mal, medication issues and subsequent changing to a wheat free diet.

Does anyone else have any experience of this? Or any comments they would like to add?
