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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
