Food Review: Boom Chicka Pop, Lightly Sweet Popcorn.


Movies and popcorn go together like peanut butter and jelly. When you have Celiac disease, you may find that you may not be able to enjoy your favorite popcorn. However, many companies are now starting to accommodate us.

For instance, Angie's popcorn has begun to line the shelves of many supermarkets nationwide. I happen to have recently tested this product. The product that I've had the pleasure of testing is the Boom Chicka Pop, lightly sweet popcorn. This product has a nice combination of sweet and salty. The sweetness is not overpowering at all. Both the sweetness and saltiness are quite modest.

The one thing that I absolutely love about the product are the nutritional facts. There are only 37 calories in one cup of popcorn. One serving of this amazing popcorn is 3 1/4 cups. The product is low carb, and it has 3 grams of dietary fiber.

Another thing that you will love about this product, is that it's certified gluten free! You can fully trust this product, which is rare for us Celiacs. There is no high fructose corn syrup. It is non-GMO. It is vegan and certified kosher.

I highly recommend this product. I you're looking to have a night in, and you're looking for a sweet and salty popcorn, pick up any of the Boom Chicka Pop popcorn, and indulge your taste buds.

Celebrities who have Celiac Disease

 Getting diagnosed with Celiac Disease can be pretty tough (believe me, I remember how hard it was for me). You may be the first among your family and/or friends that has been diagnosed as Celiac. It can be lonely (even though my grandmother had it, and I was partially raised by her, she had been gone for a few years when I was diagnosed. I had no one). What gave me some comfort was that I was not alone. Some of the celebrities I look up to were also Celiac Disease sufferers. People like Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Emmy Rossum had been living with the disease for years before I was diagnosed. I researched both and learned a lot from them. Also, learning that my first celeb crush has 2 Celiacs in his family really helped me feel less alone. Here is a list of celebs who have diagnosed Celiac Disease: Elizabeth Hasselbeck (public figure) Emmy Rossum (actress) Wil Wheaton's mom and sister Meg Cabot (author) Sarah Joy Brown (actress) Joe C (rapper who frequently performed with

South Park's Gluten-Free Ebola Episode

photo credit: southparkdigital Greetings Celiac Warriors! Recently, South Park did a gluten free episode that got a lot of attention in the gluten free and Celiac communities. For the most part, the reaction has been positive. Many folks, including myself, found it hilarious. You may be wondering what the episode was about. I'm going to give you the cliff notes version: The episode starts off with the kids returning to school after their start up company fails. Then the show cuts to the teachers lounge where the teachers are discussing Mr. Mackey who has gone gluten free. Mr. Mackey comes back and starts blaming all the world's problems on gluten. A co-worker becomes annoyed by all the gluten free talk and starts screaming at Mr. Mackey to shut up. Mackey states that behavior problems are due to gluten consumption. A female teacher expresses interest in going gluten free. Later on, the boys are on the radio promoting an "epic" party. Callers ask the boys i

Celiac Women At a Decreased Risk for Hormone-Related Cancers.

When it comes to Celiac Disease, there really are not many benefits to the disease. However, research has shown that women, who have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are at a lower risk for hormone-related cancers, which include Endometrial, Breast, and Ovarian Cancers. Women with Celiac Disease are 15% less likely to develop Breast Cancer, 40% less likely to develop Endometrial Cancer, and 11% less like to develop Ovarian Cancer. Researchers believe that this is due to a decreased level of female hormones that promote reproductive Cancers.
