[QUOTE="V. Sunn, post: 761587, member: 28692"] It is January 2022 - but I will post my experience that happened early December 2021. The microwave popcorn my family made to eat while enjoying a movie smelled good, so I ate a bowlful. I have had some digestive issues from this in the past, but more in concerns with the salt and my reaction of fluid retention. However, the next morning my stomach began to feel bloated, gassy, and slightly sour. I thought maybe I had picked up a flu virus (??) The bloating became intense and I had what I will describe as "lightening storms" - very sharp pains going across my distended abdomen. I was traveling home - and wondered if I would be able to finish the several hour drive. I had some chewable DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice root extract) which has helped with gas and heartburn in times past. I would chew 4 tablets and 4 Altoid Peppermint tablets - and then I would burp continually! The pressure would ease for awhile and then build back up distending my abdomen. The issue with my gut lasted for a few days (!!!) - sour stomach and gassy bloating until my son reminded me I have also used Diatomaceous Earth powder (Food grade!) in my tea (empty stomach) in the past for digestive issues too. It worked! I finally felt relief from the reaction to the popcorn. I do believe there is some chemical in the microwave popcorn whether it is seasoning preservative, (or something in the bag itself? - possibly some chemical to keep the bag from damage in the microwaves?) Whatever the cause - I will not be eating Microwave popcorn again! What a painful reaction and hard lesson learned! [/QUOTE]
