Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Hi!!!! This is our official Day 1!!!! So far so good. I was wondering if anyone here is catholic, and what do you do for communion... I know there are some rice wafflers that are available, but since we started the SCD diet, that would be illegal!!!!

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Coral, I am not Catholic, so please pardon my questions if they are silly. Can you bring your own wafer for him?

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 You know, I actually wondered what to do about this myself. This past Sunday was the first time our Presbyterian church has had communion since I've begun SCD. I just broke off as small a piece of bread as I could, and dipped it in the wine. But as I ate it I tried to focus on " remembrance of Him " but found myself thinking, " I hope I don't hurt later " . Wondered what to do, though, hated to refuse it, think I'll ask my pastor what he suggests. Our kids don't do communion yet so that's not an issue, but it is for ME. in NC Mom of Luke, age 5, Asperger's/low-salicylate; , age 3, healthy; and , 19 mos, healthy All SCD since 1/26/04 Re: Catholic Communion Coral, I am not Catholic, so please pardon my questions if they are silly.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Hi All, We are Catholic and it is our belief that the host and wine become the Body of Christ and the Blood of Christ when consecrated by a priest. You can not give a rice wafer for communion, it has to be made out of wheat because that is what Jesus used in the Last Supper. As for taking the Body of Christ and Blood of Christ while on SCD, someone previously mentioned that the belief in the transformation is enough to allow one to take communion and not be affected by the earthly ingredients it is made out of. Look back in the last couple of months and you'll see that person's post on this list. Take care and everyone have a Blessed Easter or a great Passover. Becky in Chesapeake, VA with 10 yr old on SCD 9+ weeks, who received communion while on GFCF diet but hasn't received it while on SCD until this coming Sunday on Easter. > Hi!!!! > > This is our official Day 1!!!!
