We had a congregant who was a recovering alcoholic and he didn't take the wine (we have actual wine) in little cups. Yes, maybe it made him a little "different" but the important part was that he received the Sacrament. Obviously this family thinks making their point is more important than that.

This thread makes me remember my childhood when my parents decided to have me tested at this quack place to see if I had food allergies. After taking about half my blood (enough that I passed out and had a seizure), they determined that I was allergic to brewer's yeast, chocolate, wheat and several other things.
My diet consisted of rice bread instead of wheat bread for sandwiches, all kinds of dried fruit, just strange fuid altogether. Probably why I can eat just about anything now and appreciate it.
Anyhow, yeah, a lot of these food allergy things are complete BS. And then again, some are very real.
