Popcorn

[Jordan Carlson]

Does anyone else get muscle soreness and joint pain after eating popcorn?  I thought maybe it was a fluke the first time it happened but I tested it out this past weekend and the day after it felt like I had the workout of a life time lol.  No stomach pain or bloating, just the muscle soreness and joint pain.  Anyone experience anything like this?

I LOVE POPCORN but I was told NO gluten and NO grains! Grains really? YES! Corn is a grain!

PS: Did you know that rice is a grain? Also, I purchased gluten-free, whole oats oatmeal... nope, oats are a grain!

While it is true that a small minority of people with celiac disease don't fully recover unless they go grain-free, the majority recover on a standard gluten-free diet which includes gluten-free grains like corn, millet, quinoa, sorghum, etc.

The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping.

It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

I'm curious if anyone's tried pop sorghum to replace popped corn?  Seems like a useful substitute.  Just having trouble figuring out how to get more than just a few kernels to pop.

I've only had a pre-popped version of popped sorghum, sorry. Normally you would put them in a frying pan with a lid on it, add some butter or oil, then move the pan back and forth quickly until it all pops (at least this works for popcorn!).
