    For me it is more about fiber. I have been diagnosed with holes in my transverse colon and stomach. Years ago a surgeon found a large gash in the lowest part of my small intestines and patched it, while removing my gallbladder. Eating lettuce helps my digestive tract to be able to move properly. When I was a kid, my dad was caught adding some powder substance to our dinner. He told my mom it was phosphorus. Right around that time, I started having severe stomach problems. I also had a relative offer me a drink of what he said was juice, from a plastic cup, when I was about six years old. People later said it was battery acid when I told others that it didn’t taste right. My stomach and bowels have had a lovely life. Healthy foods help.

      First off, I’m sorry that you had family do shitty things to you as a kid.

      Second, Is popcorn safe for you to eat? Tons of fiber and low calorie. You can eat 4 cups of it which is super filling and it’s only 300 calories.

        It should be. After my MRI, years ago, I was given a list of foods I should avoid. Popcorn might be on it, but I’ll have to check. Thanks for the suggestion. That actually sounds pretty good.
