Catholics are required  to believe in transubstantiation.  To fail to do so makes one not a Catholic.  Thus, all Catholics, without exception and by definition, believe that the bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ.

If you're celiac and truly do believe that the wafer literally becomes the flesh of Christ when you eat it, then you should technically no longer be Catholic the next morning when you're sitting on the toilet with bowel spasms.

And doubly so since the other Catholics cannot evidence their sincerity of belief with a laying upon with healing hands.

Indeed, a Catholic celiac is doubly fucked.
