Movie Theater Popcorn

Does anyone happen to know if Regal Cinema's or AMC movie theater popcorn and butter sauce is gluten free or not???? I used to work for AMC years ago and I remember that we put a specific seasoning mixture in with the popcorn before it's popped. I just don't know if it's gluten free or not. I have tried looking on their websites and I can't find any info about this, and I would really like to be able to eat popcorn in a theater with my movie. I went to see Star Wars last night and because I didn't want to take a chance, I had M&M's with my coke... And we are planning to go see Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy next weekend and I want popcorn! (and my local theater WILL NOT ALLOW me to bring in outside food even if I tell them it's because of a medical reason, I checked..)

We don't have Regal or AMC here but every time I have checked a theater the popcorn has been gluten-free. If the topping used at your theater is Flavocol (sp?), it is indeed gluten-free. You need to find out what they use and call the company. The oil and popcorn itself will be gluten-free, of course.

All the places I've been to I haven't gotten a reaction, but I don't get the butter sauce because i think it is just plain gross! But just ask one of the people behind the counter if you can see the ingredietns, then write down the companys name and phone, and call them before you go to a movie again.

The last two theaters I attended both allowed me to view the ingredient lists for everything they used in their popcorn. The other patrons were quite interested as they brought out the boxes and buckets for me to see. I was able to answer several questions for those around me. If you contact the theater by phone during the day, they can probably give you the phone number for the mfr as well.

Whenever I eat movie theatre popcorn I throw up big time. I think it is the butter b/c I am allergic to all dairy. It's not a pretty site.

Oh Nisla - Hitchhikers was awesome!!! I wanna go back for another shot. This is funny because I wanted popcorn and my husband wouldn't let me (after seeing how sick I got the last two times) even though I told him I'd had it there before, no problem.

Funny...

IKWYM, my husband wouldn't let me get the popcorn either until I have researched it sufficiently!!! So I ended up spending $4 on a bag of m&m's I ended up spilling all over the floor. <_<

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
