Just like other processed foods, it will vary by manufacturer. Some might be safe, and others may not. #1 Rule is not to eat anything unless you know the ingredients yourself. My best advice if you want to eat it, is go up before then, at a time when they aren't busy, ask to speak to a manager, and see the ingredients.

All that being said....most microwavable popcorn at home is gluten free, so *chances* are, there should be some that are safe.

Be mindful of cross contamination, as well!

Enjoy the movie.....what are you going to see?! :rolleyes:

Of course I can't guarantee that every single movie popcorn out there is gluten-free, but I've yet to find one that isn't.

There are 4 of us going to the movies...not sure what we will wind up seeing..there are so many good new ones coming out on Christmas...I would love to see either the Will Smith movie or Dreamgirls..but my neice wants to see Blood Diamond or something else, I can't remember which one it is...but they all sound good. Maybe I will give up on the popcorn and eat a candy bar instead...Sissy

Do you kow what movie theater you are going to? I eat Cinemark popcorn with no problem. I avoid the "butter" because I have no idea what is in it.

I usually ask to read the ingredients to the "butter". I've never found one that's not safe. I always get popcorn and have never had a reaction.

I'd be more concerned about the candy than the popcorn if I were you. I can think of plenty of candy with gluten in it. I've asked at the theaters around here and they all use just popcorn, coconut oil and salt. We don't get the "butter" topping because it likely contains some form of dairy and/or soy and daughter is allergic to both.

I just went to the movies last week and asked the manager, he looked at both the popcorn and "buttery topping", both were fine. I still ate too much though :rolleyes:

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
