The following is an email from Cineplex Odeon Theatres (Canada) in response to my question about the "natural flavours and spices" on the ingredient list on the bag of popcorn salt. There was no allergy info provided with the salt. The young man at the concession was great, got me the allergy info for the butter and topping and when he couldn't find an info sheet for the salt, he brought me the 10kg bag that had the ingredient list on. Then he directed me to the manager to get more information, and she said, "If I were you, I just wouldn't eat the popcorn."

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us here at Cineplex Entertainment. First and foremost, I would like to apologize for the late reply. However, with your e-mail, we wanted to get the proper amount of information before we contacted you.

On your behalf, we spent quite a bit of time trying to determine what constituted the vague ingredient list of our popping salt. According to the company who supplies the product, “Natural spice extracts” include: Annatto and Turmeric.

Further, here is a list of ingredient categories.

INGREDIENT CATEGORY YES NO INGREDIENT CATEGORY YES NO

Animal Fat & Oils X Nuts X

Wheat Product X Seeds X

Milk Product X Fish & Shellfish X

Egg Product X Sulphites X

Soy Product X Tartrazine X

Corn Product X MSG X

Peanuts X

(I don't think the table I made will work according to the post preview, so I will say that they are all NOs, except a YES for Tartrazine)

From what little I know of gluten, I believe this would indicate that the popping salt is safe for consumption. I realize that your e-mail also had a suggestion about posting this, and other nutritional information, and I will pass this suggestion on to our marketing department, however, I wanted to send this to you for your own personal information.

If you require any further information on this product, please do not hesitate to write me. Thank you again for your suggestion, and take care.

Regards,

Ed Staples

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hey! I’m recently gluten free and yes I really struggle with alcohol now. I haven’t really drank in 2 months as it just made me feel awful the next day in terms of stomach ache mainly. I’ve had a couple of glasses of white wine here and there (mainly low sulphate) but every time it gives me a gut ache. I think it’s because but guy is so damaged from my journey to discovering my gluten intolerance and hopefully this will improve but honestly I’m just not bothered about having a drink now. I can’t even touch Prosecco or champagne I think the bubbles really upset me!

      I just wanted to share my support for you. Rant away. We all know that, and have experiences like that at some point. I am sorry for that very unpleasant, and emotionally isolating reminder of your medical condition. Which always is exacerbated by the hunger. I will admit many of my family friends, and coworkers found it easier to exclude me than to accommodate me. I also have to be very strict with cross contamination so in hindsight they did me a favor.  The sting however can often still be unearthed when I read experiences like yours.  I am sorry you had that occur. I hope you, and the coworkers can find the easy more accommodating experiences again after this unfortunate incident. Best wishes.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      "...hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea" . Heard of indeed. Experienced too. In hindsight, I can remember from age 2 having, and trying to convey my issues. I went 38 years misdiagnosed. So yes one can have these issues. I did have to go back on gluten for a gluten challenge. I failed that challenge and 6 days in they give me permission to stop, and I proceed with my scopes as scheduled. Post those 6 days I had gained 13 intolerances. I had to remove many foods, and reintroduce them back in. Nine years later I have two that remain gluten, and corn. I found it helpful to follow a whole foods diet. I also found autoimmune (AIP) protocol diet/recipes, and Paleo diet/recipes helpful. I still enjoy many of those homemade version recipes. I still continue to make my own salad dressings even if I can find a gluten-free store bought version. Fresh taste best to this palate now.  I did give up many grains I was off many and reverted to coconut flour and almond flour as work arounds .  I still remember the first time my gut experienced the reintroduction of quinoa. It wasn't sure if it wanted to flare or not. In 30 minutes it reported back ok this will pass. Many foods were removed post gluten challenge for me for 2 years and 4 months. At the 2 year 4 month mark is when my body said ok let's eat again, but don't ever feed me gluten again! I wish you the best.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.
