All I can say is popcorn kills my gut--Even in small quanitities--Cramps, bloating, diarrea, ew. So sad because I love eating it at the movies. I just don't think I can handle it anymore.
Also, anyone have trouble with ground soy meat? I made enchiladas with it and golly, this morning it was kinda ugly. I woke up with a distended belly and had some breakfast, knowing what might await me. And then it was desperate urgency and an explosion into the toilet! Yowsers, fortunately I work from home. I did have maybe 2 handfuls of popcorn last night after dinner. I don't know if that would be enought to do anything, though....?

It's not just you. There was a time when popcorn would do something similar to me. I can eat it now, but I'm still careful.
It's not the same, but for movie goodies, I sneak in a Luna bar or a safe 100 calorie pack.
Soy "meat" - Sometimes it causes explosions and sometimes it's my buddy. I haven't had any for awhile.

Popcorn contains about 15% fiber by weight and most of it is IF. Not a good treat for IBS suffers.
Soy products of any kind give me bad gas. I cannot image what popcorn and soy together would do to me

Oh! If I do it eat (which is rare) I make sure I don't eat it on an empty stomach (maybe a handful of pretzels or something beforehand).....

Thanks Syl, jhuggs and snorkie! I appreciate the responses and will proceed with caution next time I've got a hankering for the popcorn (or maybe not proceed at all unless I'm having a super super special tummy week).
