I think it depends on the theater. I live in Arizona and called Harkins Theaters. They told me their popcorn is gluten free and is made with canola oil. I ate it and felt fine.

Here is a response from Regal Entertainment regarding movie popcorn.

Nutritional Ingredients - Popcorn

Per your request, below are the nutritional ingredients of our popcorn components:

Popcorn Seed

Contents: Natural product. Unpopped popcorn seeds.

Coconut Oil

Contents: Coconut Oil, Beta Carotene. This is a refined, bleached and deodorized coconut oil.

Seasoning Salt

Contents: Salt, Certified food color (including FD&C Yellow #5 & #6), imitation butter flavor, Tri-calcium Phosphate added as an anti-caking agent

The typical batch of popcorn contains 4 parts seed to 1 part oil, and 2 to 5 teaspoons of salt depending on the size of the popcorn kettle and the make/model of the popper. For example, a 32 oz kettle would require 32 oz of popcorn seed, 8 oz of coconut oil, and 3 Tsp. of seasoning salt.

Voluntary addition to the popcorn

Me too, but just because I don't want to have a heart attack. that stuff is nasty. We just order it plain and don't have them add the squirts of that stuff they call buttery topping.

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.
