In the past doctors advised patients with colon problems to avoid popcorn and other nuts because it was thought that these foods could lodge in diverticula and cause inflammation (diverticulitis).
However there's no medical evidence that proves this happens and many people have eaten nuts and popcorn when they have colon problems and nothing bad has happened.
Popcorn is a healthy snack and is okay to eat when you have colon issues.
Popcorn isn't considered healthy for your colon but popcorn is not bad for your colon either.
The foods we eat are okay and our colon and body was made to digest the food we eat including popcorn.
So eating popcorn will not harm your colon.
