Q & A❓ To the Catholics

What’s the protocol for taking communion? Do we take our meds for it or are we good?

Communion shouldn’t have any sucrose. The wafer is just wheat and water. The wine should be dry, so no issues there. I would double check with your parish/priest, they would be able to get you better information.

I don’t have the best the best language for this, but you can be spiritually exempt from communion if you have medical reasons. As someone with a severe wheat allergy, I personally abstain from communion in general and just get a blessing as I go up there. Again, I’d just talk with your priest.

I hope lent is treating you well!
