Before anyone is thinking about eating a 'low gluten wafer", you need to read
the advisory posted about it over at the web page in the email :

"Prior to now, the only low-gluten hosts available to parishes in the United
States were from European suppliers. The Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual
Adoration in Clyde, Missouri, have developed a true low gluten host ready for sale
by January 1, 2004. The total gluten content of this product is 0.01%; its
contents of unleavened wheat and water and free of additives conform to the
requirements of the Code of Canon Law, canon 924.2. This low gluten content is
still enough gluten to confect bread for the Eucharist. Many gluten-intolerant
persons may be able to consume it, or some portion of it, but are strongly
advised to check with their personal physicians in advance. This product is the
only true, low-gluten altar bread known to the Secretariat and approved for use
at Mass in the United States. "
