I know that a lot of folks with ostomies can't have popcorn (for various reasons), and neither could I for a long time, but then I found a place local to me with outstanding gourmet popcorn. It's high-end, but not overpriced...they do everything from plain to caramel to nacho cheese to wasabi to various chocolate-covered (yes, really!) varieties. It's a very thin hull and the popcorn itself practically melts in your mouth.
This isn't an ad for them (really...I get nothing out of it), but more informative. I think they will ship (at least inside the US- it is food, after all), so you can get it even if you aren't local to Syracuse. They're called the Kandied Kernal. Check it out if you get the chance and are so inclined...might just be what you've been missing!
Fortunately, I am one of the lucky ones who can eat popcorn without a problem, and Kandied Kernal's sound divine! We don't have them down here, but we have a similar product (strictly sweet though) called Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs. Yum, methinks a trip to the store is in order! :)

I don't have problems with popcorn, but I do say a prayer in my head before I shove popcorn into me :) I have had blockages, but it's more like water clear that comes out after the pain is gone. Maybe inflammation!! Hell, I don't know anymore. xx Cheers and good luck, Mooza :D

We had a talk about popcorn some time ago. There is a hulless popcorn that you can buy. There are some at the stores, or you can also have it shipped to you. It's not expensive either. Good luck with a favorite to all.
