So, I plan on taking my son to see his first movie in a theater and I would like to know if the popcorn is gluten free. I called the cinema that owns the theater we are going to and I did not get a call back! <_< (Don't you love that.)

Thanks!

I would not risk it. If you can get them to show you the ingredients of the popcorn, the oil they use for it, and the stuff they sprinkle on then maybe you can tell. But I doubt it. I used to work at a theater years ago and the stuff they use to make the popcorn is so full of chemicals that even if it is gluten free it is far from healthy. We usually just grab a package of raisenettes or something like that that we know for sure is safe. Also do not get a fountain beverage, the formulas they use for those are different than for the stuff the companies bottle and most are going to be risky.

We ask what kind of oil they use (not because of gluten but because of a peanut allergy) and ask for the popcon plain. We eat the plain popcorn and have soda at the movies all the time and have never had a problem.

After a year of emailing them they finally got back to me and said its fine however the butter they use is called butter oil. Its full of chemicals thats for sure. they were not sure of this is gluten-free... I still have not tried the popcorn it just makes me nervous. Which theatre chain did you write to...

It was Century 16, a Cinemark theater. I called Cinemark and the best I could do would leave a message. I could not even talk to a live person. They promise to call you back in an hour, which obviously did not happen. Then I decided to call the theater directly and the message stated to go online for theater times, then hangs up! This process took up half my lunch break. <_<

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
