I have diverticulosis and redunant toruous colon. I take 2 heaping teaspoons in 2 glasses of water before going to bed at night, have small bowl of raisin bran with skim milk in the morning and it keeps my digestive track good. I have not been back to the hospital in over 2 years now. I never eat popcorn. sob,sob. Ive learned 3 times it caused diverticulitis infection and sent me to hospital.
