I'm pretty confident that the only God could possibly know what's in movie theater popcorn. :lol: Maybe it has something weird in it at your theater? Maybe cc? Maybe it was just the pound of greasy butter? I intend to have a discussion with the management at my favorite theater in the next week or two and explain that if they don't like me bringing a bag of home popped popcorn I can see movies somewhere else.

(Oh, and as a disclaimer this is all new to me so I'm extremely overly paranoid.)

My guess would be the popcorn. Did you have anything on it like the 'butter'? I don't know about all theaters but my local one the popcorn is safe but I usually get it plain.

It could also have been something else you ate in the last day or two and not have anything to do with either the rices or the popcorn. It can be very hard to figure out what 'got' us sometimes or even if it is gluten or something else. It took me almost 5 years to figure out that soy was an issue for me. Kept thinking I was getting CC'd alot when in reality it was the soy that was getting me.

Movie popcorn butter has always made me feel weird. I hate the taste of it, but my boyfriend loves it, and he's the one who buys popcorn. I'm also pretty sensitive to MSG, so maybe that's what's in it.

I've gotten sensitive to corn since going gluten free. Makes means sick as getting glutened by wheat. It has to do with the whole leaky gut thing. I had to give up doritos *sniff* I bet pop orn is your culprit simply because it's corn and a lot of celiacs are sensitive to it.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
