This topic is all about rediscovering the joy of popcorn for those with an ostomy. After avoiding popcorn for years, someone found a company in Syracuse, NY, called Kandied Kernal, which offers gourmet popcorn with an ultra-thin hull that almost melts in your mouth. They have a variety of flavors, from plain and caramel to nacho cheese, wasabi, and even chocolate-covered options. While it's considered high-end, the prices are reasonable, and they ship across the United States. This information is shared to help fellow ostomates who miss enjoying popcorn.

Here are some helpful tips and insights:

1. Many ostomates have found they can enjoy popcorn without any issues. However, it's important to remember that everyone's tolerance is different. It's best to chew thoroughly, start with small amounts, and be mindful of any signs of blockage.

2. One person shared their experience with past blockages, which started with pain followed by clear, watery output. They recommend being extra cautious.

3. Hull-less popcorn is another option available in some stores and online. It's affordable, can be shipped, and might help reduce the risk of hull-related obstructions.

4. Some alternative gourmet or sweet popcorn brands to consider include:
- Kandied Kernal from Syracuse, NY, which offers thin-hull popcorn in various savory and chocolate flavors and ships within the US.
- Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs from Australia, known for their sweet caramelized popcorn.
