I think it depends on the theater. I live in Arizona and called Harkins Theaters. They told me their popcorn is gluten free and is made with canola oil. I ate it and felt fine.

Here is a response from Regal Entertainment regarding movie popcorn.

Nutritional Ingredients - Popcorn

Per your request, below are the nutritional ingredients of our popcorn components:

Popcorn Seed

Contents: Natural product. Unpopped popcorn seeds.

Coconut Oil

Contents: Coconut Oil, Beta Carotene. This is a refined, bleached and deodorized coconut oil.

Seasoning Salt

Contents: Salt, Certified food color (including FD&C Yellow #5 & #6), imitation butter flavor, Tri-calcium Phosphate added as an anti-caking agent

The typical batch of popcorn contains 4 parts seed to 1 part oil, and 2 to 5 teaspoons of salt depending on the size of the popcorn kettle and the make/model of the popper. For example, a 32 oz kettle would require 32 oz of popcorn seed, 8 oz of coconut oil, and 3 Tsp. of seasoning salt.

Me too, but just because I don't want to have a heart attack. that stuff is nasty. We just order it plain and don't have them add the squirts of that stuff they call buttery topping.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
