I bought kettle corn at the store yesterday and I haven't had it in awhile..

Of course it is alright to eat; enjoy.

I think most people have trouble with popcorn. A lot of people have problems with sugar. That sounds to me like one plus one. I eat popcorn on occasion and it doesn't bother me but I'm picky about the pieces I eat, no husks, and I don't overdo it. I personally don't like kettle corn much so I would almost never eat that just out of preference. Eating popcorn for a UC'r is like rolling the dice and many people will lose. If you're set on giving it a try be careful with the pieces you eat and only eat a very small amount and see what happens.

Popcorn kills me. It's the only food I'll never eat again because of my UC. Those kernels are like razor blades going through my colon.

But everyone is different and I don't believe food can cause a flare so give it a try. But go slowly - eat a handful then wait a few hours to see how it affects you.

I'm jealous because I LOVE kettle corn.

Popcorn doesn't affect me when in remission, but I avoid it when in a flare. I miss popcorn, it's one of my favourite snacks.

I'm with Annadee. Popcorn is intolerable for me when I'm flaring. Now that I'm in "almost remssion" I have tried it. If I eat just a little, I'm fine. Too much will give me blood. IMO, it's just not worth it. I don't even really like it that much, I think I just crave what I know I should not have! tongue

No, it won't start a flare....

But that doesn't mean it won't give you any problems comfort-wise, especially if you're already in a flaring state.

I have no problem with popcorn, and at home I make it air-popped only

Even in remission I can't eat popcorn of any sort. It's like I ate a handful of tacks.

No. But if you are in a flare it certainly won't help you.

Last time I had popcorn it killed me. 3bm's, pain like you wouldn't believe. But it stopped the next day and kind of restarted my system again. Not worth it for me.
