Cineplex Odeon Popcorn

I stopped in at the Cineplex Odeon today, buying tickets for Harry Potter tomorrow, and thought I'd check on their popcorn. They pop it in canola oil, the guy at the concession gave me the ingredient list for their butter (Lactantia, and becel margarine for the "topping"), but he didn't have a list for their salt. He brought me the 10kg bag of salt they use and two of the ingredients seemed a bit fishy...natural spices and natural flavour. The manager of the theatre wouldn't give me a contact number for the supplier, she just said not to eat the popcorn, because they pop it with the salt, it's not a you add salt afterward thing.

The company who manufactures it is G & A, in/near Burlington, Ontario. I couldn't find any info online, but I sent a message to the Hamilton Celiac Association.

Any other thoughts on how to track down the ingredients or does anyone know if it's safe? My son can certainly have the M&M's, but he's a huge fan of movie popcorn, and we'd like to know if he can have it or not.

Thanks in advance.

I would be worried about the Lactancia topping because they are owned by Parmalat and they won't guarantee any of their products as being gluten-free. Becel is safe. Sorry I can't help you with the salt thing.

We ended up taking a big ziploc bag of popcorn with us (Act II microwave by ConAgra) and no one said a peep to us about bringing it.

Which is good - or I would have mentioned the excellent concession employee and the useless manager and gone on my merry way.

I think that is what I am going to have to do too.

      That somes it up. It is worth mentioning GliadinX does not reduce symptoms for me at all. I also react to banana, avacado, cabbage, Oatmeal, and pecans among other things. If anyone else out there is like me, I had to eliminate gluten and all processed food before I could start to heal. I wish I had know this a long time ago. Thanks for the acknowledgement...

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      Thanks for sharing this detailed explanation. It’s really helpful to understand the differences between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. I had no idea that gluten withdrawal could feel similar to addiction, and it’s great to have that context when considering how it affects people. It’s also good to know how important it is to continue eating glute...

      Yeah, hard for me to not eat salmon though it does cause varying degrees of irritation to the rash. Alright, guess I’m gonna have to be careful with iodine. Thanks for the article.

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      I probably had celiac for 40 years, late 20s to late 60s, before being diagnosed. I was a runner and had mild intestinal symptoms most of the time. There was a couple of months in my late 40s where I had significant diarrhea every day for 6 weeks. Saw two PCPs about it and celiac wasn't on their radar. In my 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s I had insomnia, hot...

      FDA says that most drugs are gluten-free???

      Scott, I used the AI app Perplexity. I did use your recommendation for research as well, however one med was not the color or shape, after being outsourced to India. I called Blue Cross, spoke to a pharmacist, he also did not have the correct description of the drug from India! 37 additives!

I had no idea that gluten withdrawal could feel similar to addiction, and it’s great to have that context when considering how it affects people. It’s also good to know how important it is to continue eating gluten for accurate testing. I’ll keep all of this in mind!

      I probably had celiac for 40 years, late 20s to late 60s, before being diagnosed.  I was a runner and had mild intestinal symptoms most of the time.  There was a couple of months in my late 40s where I had significant diarrhea every day for 6 weeks.  Saw two PCPs about it and celiac wasn't on their radar.  In my 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s I had insomnia, hot flashes, night sweats, muscle cramps, muscle twitching, and cardiac arrhythmia.  It took osteoporosis and fractured vertebrae before I got diagnosed.  Long term undiagnosed celiac will lead to osteoporosis. Once you go gluten-free, symptoms should away eventually.  But you may have other food intolerances.  I happen to be lactose intolerant...
