Repeatable miracle that could be verified and you think some bishop would not have tested it to announce to the world that this was the sign of true faith......?
Or some curious Orthodox scientist ?
Nobody ever ? Honestly how likely is that ?
Instead we have sites like
https://www.celiac.ca/pdfs/GF_Communion.pdf
Which clearly demonstrate that there is a need for gluten free or low gluten products when partaking Eucharist.
Anyway can you link Holy Synod or something official to confirm this or is it more of custom that should not be questioned or talked about ?
don't need it. I know people who can't do gluten, and yet take communion with no problems. I know folks who have consumed the chalice and blown a zero on a breathalyzer.
plus the saints are very clear (St Cyril of Alexandria, St Ignatius of Antioch come to mind) that communion doesn't spread disease.
and that link ain't an Orthodox one, because we don't use gluten free bread.
