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.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
