Hello. Does anybody know if Marcus theater popcorn is gluten free? I called the theater and the lady said "I have no idea. Its just popcorn". So, then I decided to come to this trusty forum :)

I'm not familiar with that particular name, but the popcorn probably is not the concern. The oil it's cooked in could be a minor concern.

But I must say, I have never gotten ill from popcorn in any theater I attended. Sometimes I go just for the popcorn. :P

At all of my local theaters the popcorn starts as gluten free. It is popped in either peanut or corn oil depending on which one I go to. One problem could be the butter sauce, which is practically liquid soy everywhere. Another problem could be CC. Most of the local theaters here sell hot dogs and such and are staffed by mostly 16 and 17 year old kids. They don't exactly worry about things like ditching their gloves they were wearing to get a hot dog before they go grab the scooper for popcorn. I simply am not willing to risk it.

I don't know the brand but when I asked at our theater, I got the same answer! "Uh...it's just popcorn." I made them give me the label and it literally was just corn. It was totally gluten free. They used the scooper just for the popcorn so I think it was safe. I let my daughter eat it. (Child size) Now, I am not celiac and will get violently ill on theater popcorn. I think it is just that the butter is so uh, uh, I don't even know what to call it. Just eat too much and then it makes you sick to even think about it. After puking my guts out on overdoing it, I don't think I have had it in 15 years. It is just too much for me. So if you eat it and get sick....it might not be the gluten! LOL I always order my dd without butter for that very reason.

I don't know of any off the top of my head that contain gluten but anything is possible :) Here is good info: Open Original Shared Link - It mentions marcus but says they didn't get back to them so you might give them a call.

In nearly 11 years I've never heard of a movie popcorn that wasn't gluten-free and I've never gotten sick from it. AS long as there are no weird flavors added, I don't even check it any more.

I got sick on it no long after going gluten-free but it turned out that I couln't digest corn in any large quantity. Since then i have had some....a handful....and was fine.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.
