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.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
