    • We use rice cakes. Also GTFO with your gluten sensitivity.

        I guess direction has come to no longer do that. The reason: it doesn’t fit with the symbolism of the bread being broken. I understand the sacrament is all about symbolism, but that seems pretty nitpicky to me. We aren’t sure how to handle the issue now a separate tray with oatbread is possible, but then a deacon would have to be dedicated to knowing and finding those who need it.
        I just scrolled through the official communication library back to 2012 and didn't see anything about it. Unless maybe it was buried in one of those updates about the triple combination now being made available in Serbian or Afrikaans. I doubt anyone has actually ever read those updates.

        • We have a few people with true celiac disease plus who knows how many with gluten sensitivity. One of those with celiac disease would bring his own bread for the priests to bless. He and his family always sit in the same seats so it is easy to know which tray to place the gluten free bread.

          Eventually we went with putting gluten free bread on every tray in a separate fry-sauce sized cup.

            That sounds like the best solution of all.

            • When we first moved into this ward around 12 years ago, we met a member who was gluten intolerant or celiac or something. I had never heard of it before that time. I've never noticed any special/separate breads passed around on the tray(s) during the Sacrament. Our ward is probably just hostile to the celiac and gluten-intolerant members. Maybe that's why he moved.

              • ::glumly:: we are one of those wards who just gives everyone gluten free bread. It's like bread gum- super chewy and super tasteless. Thanks a lot, pseudo celiactors. The one time a week I can eat bread carbs and I gotta eat this kind.

                I think they just dont want to call them sacramental crackers. Too catholic.

                  We have one family with a daughter who is a celiac. They bring their own piece of gluten free bread which stays in a Ziploc baggie which the deacons pass to them on their own tray. Every other tray gets regular bread and a rice cake for the self diagnosed folks.

                        What's her preferred method of deception? Throwing it over her shoulder? Dropping it in her lap?
                        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                          If you don't fake mouth to shirt pocket you clearly were never on church discipline as a youth. Doesn't work as well for the water, but for the bread it was easy. Didn't matter if your parents sat right next to you or not.
