Popcorn has been one of my go to snacks for years. Its also perfect for IBs as it is a low-FODMAP, high-fiber snack that’s easy on digestion. When made at home with simple, clean ingredients, it’s an ideal on-the-go or movie-night treat for IBS sufferers.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups air-popped popcorn
  • 1 Tbsp melted butter or lactose-free butter
  • Pinch sea salt
  • (Optional) Safe herbs or spices (smoked paprika, dried chives — no garlic/onion)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Pop the popcorn using an air-popper or stovetop with minimal oil.
  2. Drizzle with butter and sprinkle salt.
  3. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Serve immediately, or store up to 2 days in a sealed container.

🌿 IBS Tips

  • Keep portions to 3–4 cups popped popcorn per serving.
  • Add pumpkin seeds or a few dark chocolate chips for variety.
  • Avoid microwave popcorn — it often contains FODMAP-triggering additives.
