I have IBS and therefore have to severly limit my diet. Mind you half the stuff on this list is food I really enjoy eating, or is virtually included in everything 🙃 the universe said you WILL eat that boiled chicken and rice and you WILL LIKE IT

My wife had Crohn’s disease, but it was originally diagnosed as IBS. They told her about low residue diet, but there was no way she was giving up popcorn.

Yeah i have crohns, i just eat what i want and deal with it, limiting myself was worse than the after effects. Fistulas fucking suck though, so much time in hospital.

My wife did try the low-residue popcorn at one point, but the joy was not there. She had fistulas (I think 2 of them) at one point. So many different things went on in her life that popcorn, a thing she loved, was staying.
