I have been gluten free since January 9th and have done a fairly good job. I also feel great!! No more headaches, sinuses are better, no more aches and pain, "normal" bowel movements for the most part.

Anyway, my question is that for the past few weeks everytime I eat popcorn I get sick...severe cramps and D.....I am very upset at this since I have always eaten popcorn (just about daily for the past 20 + years). Is this common???? Has anyone else experienced this????

Thanks for any/all imput.

yep! That happend to me this weekend and I am seriously bummed about it as I also love popcorn. If you cruise the forum you'll see that a number of people have had to go off corn for either a while (or forever for some) while the gut heals. jmho, but I think the symptoms may have always been there b4 but would have been masked by the gluten symptoms.

Popcorn is very difficult to digest. It has a lot of fiber and you may also be struggling with the digestion of the oil/butter on it if any. Popcorn also bothers me and I have been gluten-free since the beginning of Jan as well.

a lot of people have mentioned that they have gotten more sensitive as time goes on, so maybe you're getting more sensitive to the corn and/or butter as well. You could try a popcorn that's butter free to see if it still makes your feel better and narrow down the problem.

No one has yet asked the obvious question.. How sure are you the popcorn was gluten-free? Is it labeled Gluten-free, and even if the box says the words "gluten-free", is it made on a product line that doesn't also process gluten-containing items?

Also, have you considered lactose intolerance? Most celiacs can't digest dairy (some ever, some just at first), it does give them D.

I've started making my own popcorn the old-fashioned way...on the stovetop with a little oil. Tastes so much better than microwaved and a lot healthier. Plus, you have a better shot of knowing exactly what you're eating. After doing the stovetop thing for a while (even before I was gluten-free), I had some microwaved, which just tasted overly salty, AND it upset my stomach.

I agree, if you are eating popcorn out of a microwave bag, you could be sensitive to some of the ingredients added to the mix. I would bet you would do OK with stovetop popcorn. Like the poster said, that way you know what's in it and boy does it taste good!

I dislike microwave popcorn...it is the stovetop kind I am speaking of...(sorry I was not more clear). I did not eat it for several days...then tried it again...and within about 30 minutes...back to the bathroom I went. I am thinking it is the popcorn and not the butter b/c I cook with butter and the food doesn't bother me...and I don't use a whole stick just half a stick on a very large bowl. Anyway...I am just bummed about it....I will wait awile and order the hull less popcorn from the Amish site and see how that works after a bit. Thank you all for your imput.

Yes, I would also say switch over to the stove top way of making the popcorn. It's so much more delicious.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
