I see that online you can order a package of 50 gluten-free hosts for $12.00, or 350 for $39.99 It seems a bit odd that this guy wouldn't spend $12 - $39 and supply all the celiacs in his parish for quite some time. I'd send it to him if I knew where to send it.
Maybe he just lacks verbal skills and doesn't know how to express himself gracefully, but this line ("... so we’re forced to receive our Lord in the form of wine...") really jumped out at me. Here's the reception of the most precious object in the whole Universe, the Blood of Our Lord, and he phrases it as if he's going to a vendor who doesn't have enough consumer options.
He needs to get his attitude right, I think.
Or actually get there early so as you can sit wherever the line for Communion begins to ensure one may receive.

What got me was the “it’s not fair”. Through their gifts to the church the people buy the hosts and now he would like them to fulfill his special order.
I’m pretty sure our priest orders gluten free hosts also.
I had no idea they sell gluten-free hosts, so I can’t complain that this person didn’t know about them.
But you are right that he sounds like a whiny customer, not a person who has the privilege of receiving Our Lord.
But when the gluten - free hosts are mixed in with those containing wheat— they pick up fragments of the wheat.
Another reason every person should receive on the tongue and not in the hand.
Many people brush crumbs of Jesus onto the floor without realizing it when they receive in the hand.
I think they are low gluten hosts. Totally gluten free would not be valid matter, as I understand it.
