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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
