The prosphora used in Eastern liturgies is that of gluten containing wheat flour. I can't imagine that they would be baking a separate batch for gluten sensitives. I don't mean to be unkind but I have never seen this done in all the Eastern liturgies I have ever attended. It would be highly unusual.

@saintalice I meant a separate Chalice, without the Lamb.

I have never seen that. If Byzantine liturgies are doing this then they may as well just be Latin Rite. That would be completely ridiculous (to separate the bread and wine). It wouldn't be Byzantine. Again, I don't mean to be harsh with you but I find that (separate chalices) stretching "economia" to the extreme.

If your motive is to attend Byzantine Liturgy for reception of Holy Communion, again, I'll encourage you to speak with your Latin rite priest about providing a very small amount of Host to you. You don't have celiac disease, so you shouldn't have any problem. This negligible amount of gluten is successful for those who are sensitive.

Try it at least once. At least talk to your priest first. I think you're making this too complicated.

@PerEvangelicaDicta The method you recommend requires me to take antacids, break the Eucharistic fast or drain my stomach content (smaller Particle dissolves earlier).
I'm asking this because in the Roman Rite, Can. 852 would stand in my way.
