For a lot of reasons, besides the GI issues, I avoid all corn, so I use rice cakes instead of popcorn, and I am with SurgiMenopause about preferences. I prefer the rice
cakes, too. I would think that rice and rice
cakes would be better than popcorn all around, because the rice doesn't have that hard outer hull that popcorn has that can be an obvious issue for some GI issues. I like the puffed rice suggestion, too, although I still prefer the rice cakes.
