Having Celiac disease has helped mitigate the discomfort of asking for special dietary accommodations in my life. We do not have the option of getting X on the wheat-containing whatever and tossing the whatever. My children are Celiac, too, so travel has made us experts at finding something edible in gas station stores (nuts & V8, btw), on airplanes, traveling abroad (or to Middle America). I have, many times, expressed gratitude for our condition, as it has allowed us to avoid SO MUCH rotten food in our lives, though it has often meant pre-eating or bringing our own food to events and activities.
While we have gotten popcorn as a treat sometimes at movies, eating at movies has never been part of the ritual for us. Mb you can replace the standing-in-line ritual with relishing the naughtiness of a new, sneaking-cheese-or-nuts-or-both-into-the-theatre ritual?
