Popcorn cakes

[dreamintwilight]

So...I was thinking about this the other day as I was grocery shopping. Popcorn is generally a no-no food item for Crohn's people because the hulls don't digest and can get stuck and/or cause discomfort in people. Well, what about popcorn cakes? They don't have hulls, so would those be better to eat and still enjoy that popcorn taste?

I guess it might be another trial and error thing. From what I remember the last time I had them, they were really those puffed rice cakes flavored like popcorn. They may have come a long way since then though. Try them out!
I bought some Chester's Puffcorn, and it had a similar flavor. I found it in the chip aisle. It's more like cheetos though.
(They had butter flavor, but this is the cheese one)

lol I think the starch is also part of the problem. So how did work out?

I never got to try, Kenny. Ended up in ER with partial obstruction and now I'm on low-res for the next 2-3 weeks.

It's done in online discussions when no one has responded & the OP (original poster) wants to bring the message up for attention again, in hopes of getting a reply.

On the original topic, I've had these before Corn Thins Haven't eaten them in awhile (they contain a bit of buckwheat, and I'm avoiding gluten) but not too bad. A bit like popped corn (which it is) flattened out into a coaster. Except the coaster would be more flavorful... Just kidding, they're not bad, actually. Especially covered in guacamole.

Nice, spicy guacamole.

With lots of GARLIC.

And TOMATOES.

And ONIONS...


Anyone else here miss... food..........

 

[dreamintwilight]

Hahaha...I liked that rant, David. I TOTALLY miss food right now. Lo-res food is bo-ring!

Oh and those corn thins look exactly like popcorn cakes. Nom nom nom.

These are the best alternative - http://www.snackajacks.co.uk/products/. Yum caramel flavour, I've never had trouble eating any of them really!

I tried and it didn't sit well with me. But you are right it's not like regular popcorn so give it a try. Maybe I will try it again, I need snacks.

Haha...I am definitely going to give it a try, but it may not be for several more weeks. I'm still on my low-res diet, but I definitely think I want to take it easy until I hear what my GI says about my meds to get my inflammation under control. I don't wanna end up w/ a partial obstruction again because of popcorn cakes! :lol:

I hear ya on the snacks though. Though being on this low-res diet has made me develop a taste for pretzels! They're really good if you get some kind of dip to dunk them in so they aren't so dry and they are low fiber!
