Popcorn is a healthy snack, because it provides few calories but a significant amount of fiber, which aids digestion. Though popcorn is generally safe for people with digestive problems, discuss your dietary options with your doctor and nutritionist to determine whether popcorn will improve or worsen the performance of your digestion system.
Fiber
Fiber promotes healthy digestion, so increasing the amount of popcorn you eat can help you deal with digestive problems, such as constipation and diarrhea. Three cups of air-popped popcorn provides 3.5 g of fiber. Generally, women should eat 21 to 25 g of fiber per day, and men should eat 30 to 38 g per day, according to MayoClinic.com, so eating popcorn is an effective option for increasing your dietary fiber intake.
