Popcorn At The Movie Theatre

I am guessing the Popcorn one can buy at the movie theatres are bad? Probably has "natural flavorings" on them or something.

I just wanted to know if anyone knew for sure.

I seem to have become sick after I ate them. :blink:

Cinemark said their popcorn is Gluten Free....but I still do not eat it. It could be the corn that is bothering you.

The popcorn may have contained gluten, and/or it may have been contaminated. Did you put seasonings or extra butter on the popcorn? Where they making any other food that may contain gluten? Also, are you lactose intolerant? Maybe the butter was an issue.

The best thing to do is maybe call and ask the brand of popcorn they use, determine if it's safe, and then evaluate the cross contamination issues where they are serving.

Hope this helps :)

Orville Redenbacher should be gluten-free. I eat their natural popcorn with soy oil and haven't noticed any problems.

Popcorn and popcorn oil are OK. The best selling toppings (Flavacol for one) are gluten-free but I can't guarantee you every place has them. In general, popcorn should be one of the safest things you can have.

It had some yellow stuff on it. We didn't ask for extra butter. I am lactos intolerant too but never get heart burn from lactos. They kept it uncovered and just scooped out the stuff. It didn't seem very "safe". I dunno.

I know corn is safe, it was if it was common that they have stuff on the corn. Hmm.. I know they sell other stuff too ther that might have Gluten. But I guess this will be unresolved.

Thanks for all the replies!!

(It was a Regal Cinema Theatre.)

I have been sick since that day anyways. I seem to be sensitiv or something...

It isn't real butter, just colored flavored vegetable oil. I always say, "No thanks, I'll have mine without 'buttery'."

i eat popcorn at every theatre I go to. I don't ever get butter, and never had a problem. Except, this past Saturday I ate some at a small theatre I had never been to, and threw up after the movie. Then I was fine. Hard to know, since I had also taken a pain pill that some times makes me nauseous.

we have Regal Cinemas here so I had contacted them about the popcorn, they told me that it was gluten-free. I didn't ask if they use the same brand throughout all of their theaters but at least the ones here are fine.

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      Thank you, trents and knitty kitty! You have confirmed what I thought: Clean living from a gluten-free perspective has meant basic tests would show low-to-no antibodies. It was my doctor who was wondering if I even had it, based on these tests. He's not a gastro-doc, but otherwise a kind and competent doctor. He seems genuinely interested in what...

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      @Kipman, Ask for a genetic test to determine if you have any of the known genes for Celiac Disease. Anemia, Thiamine deficiency and diabetes can each cause false negatives and low IgA. You may want to investigate these further with your doctor. Celiac Disease can occur with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, another genetic autoimmune disease. Ehlers...

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      Welcome to the forum, @Travel Celiac! You have to be consuming gluten for your body to trigger the autoimmune response and produce anti-gluten antibodies. If you're not consuming gluten, the autoimmune response is not triggered and you won't produce anti-gluten antibodies. Celiac Disease is genetic. Your genes don't change. You will always have...

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      I've never heard it said that celiac disease is a connective tissue disease. It is an autoimmune disorder that (classically) attacks the lining of the small bowel but we now know it can manifest in other body systems. It is also true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. That is, when you have one you often develop others.

      Indeterminate transglutaminase iga

      I did for a week, though that was 4 weeks before I had the test done. The doctor told me the lab rang her and said they hadn't seen results like it in their lab. Them being nearly all indeterminate that is. I also tested positive for a multiple connective tissue disease but when they did further testing it was all indeterminate too (I've only just...

      Thank you, trents and knitty kitty!  You have confirmed what I thought:  Clean living from a gluten-free perspective has meant basic tests would show low-to-no antibodies. It was my doctor who was wondering if I even had it, based on these tests.  He's not a gastro-doc, but otherwise a kind and competent doctor. He seems genuinely interested in what it means to be celiac, and also seems only somewhat familiar with tests & protocols. Hey, at least he's open to learn. Me, I never had a doubt.  I just wondered if these tests indicate that I'm doing a good job and the answer is Yes.  Hooray! As for the concern over my high overall IgA, I recently injured myself helping a friend not die, and I have loads of inflammation in my lower back and hips at the moment.  Perhaps that is the source of the high IgA? Dunno.  I dragged a short 200 lb woman around her kitchen like a sack of potatoes as I repeatedly did the Heimlich maneuver (I am quite tall, so kinda had to pick her up). Successful after the 8th heave-ho, to our mutual relief. Good ol' Navy medical training came in good for something!  But later, after the adrenaline wore off, I was in paaaaain. I wonder if another source was that I recently had a bad cold, like to the point of taking a COVID test (neg), which knocked me on my butt for a couple weeks. The tests came just a couple days after I was symptom-free. Could that do it? My big takeaway:  I have done well in avoiding gluten.  So huzzah for that. Thank you both.

Celiac Disease can occur with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, another genetic autoimmune disease.  Ehlers-Danlos is a connective tissue disease frequently seen in people who are double jointed or have stretchy skin.  This stretchy-ness can affect the digestive system.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27321543/

You have to be consuming gluten for your body to trigger the autoimmune response and produce anti-gluten antibodies.  If you're not consuming gluten, the autoimmune response is not triggered and you won't produce anti-gluten antibodies.  Celiac Disease is genetic.  Your genes don't change.  You will always have the Celiac genes whether you eat gluten or not.   Your negative tTg-IgA  shows that you are successfully keeping gluten out of your diet.  You are doing very well on that point, but you still are Celiac.  Be proud of your accomplishment!
