When you have relux is it ok to eat popcorn?!
Question: My favorite snack food of an evening and the one that has helped me lose weight, is eating popcorn for my evening snack. I have reflux (not bad, but take Zantac once a day) and wonder if it's something that hurts when one has reflux. I don't have a problem with pain or heartburn after eating it. thanks.

Viva Moz is right. I have it also and another thing to keep in mind is not to eat too much of it and not to late. Reflux can get aggrivated by eating too soon before bed and then the acid backs up. Give it at least an hour before going to bed after eating.
I have it too and I eat popcorn. I don't feel sick afterward and I like to eat it because it's high in fiber. Just don't eat the one with too much butter because that can aggravate reflux.
Reflux is also from eating too much. Make sure that your meal portion at dinner is smaller and that you don't eat 2 hours before bedtime. Popcorn never caused the problem for me as much as having it after having a high protein, high fat dinner.
