What Would You Do In This Situation? (dairy Issue)

Ds is going on 2 fieldtrips this month to a theater in town that provides a complimentary box of popcorn and drink to the kids. It isn't a huge movie theater company. It is a town theater. I called the theater and the person I spoke with said that it comes to them already packaged in butter (which he cannot have). Soooo, I can send him with a bag of popcorn that I made at home and put non-dairy butter on (they said this would be o.k.), but I was wondering if I should go to the trouble to ask them if I could pre-purchase a container and put our popcorn in it so that he feels like he fits in more. Is this asking too much? Or should I just be glad that they will let him bring his own?

I still think that there is kindness in people. Offer to purchase the cantainer explain your situation and call them jerks if they don't GIVE you one.

What a good mom you are! :)

I don't think it's asking too much. If your son needs the same box as everyone else to feel included, I would definitely ask for one.

They also sell the movie box container at some stores that look like the ones in the theatre, i know krogers sells them here. So if they tell you know that can be an option

Thanks Momma Goose, Kbtoyssni, and confused.

I decided to go in to the theater office today in person and see if they would sell me the boxes. Well, it just so happened that the man who orders the popcorn was there and told me that he didn't believe there was butter in the ingredients. He opened up a box for me and pulled the product out for me to read the ingredient list. Sure enough, it only has soy in it. So now ds can eat it along with the others! I was thrilled. :lol:

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
