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:

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
