In the Eastern Rite, there's no problem, since people receive under both species.But I'd really love to know what gluten free host the SSPX would be using. For validity, wheat must be used, and I know of no gluten-free varieties of wheat.
My wife and one of my daughters have serious gluten intolerance, and yet they had no issues at all with Emmer (when we obtained some).
However, in the example the OP gave, the priests is giving a special communion to the person. I have seen it done, the priests after he is done with everyone, goes up to the tabernacle and brings back the special host just for that one person. It is quite a spectacle on Sundays.
I'd be more interested in what other celiac sufferers have to say, as I know two, and all their lives they've just taken the small fragment from the priests. That is the reason for my opinion. I really do not give a hoot about a priest going through that extra effort. The question is, is it necessary? Are there any celiac sufferers who want to enlighten us?
