Question 1

is popcorn bad for acid reflux?

Accepted Answer

Only when greasy: It would be the fat in popcorn which worsens reflux and not the popcorn per se unless you are eating buckets of them at a time. Smaller meals usually work better.

Question 2

does eating popcorn bad if you have acid reflux?

Accepted Answer

No: No this is not a particularly bad food for acid reflux.

Question 3

is it alright to eat popcorn with acid reflux?

Accepted Answer

Depends on how made: (acid reflux is a common cause of feeling of heartburn.)  if air popped & eaten in moderation, popcorn likely won't cause problems.  If buttered, cheesy, or cooked in oil, more likely to increase acid reflux. Everyone is different; if it seems to worsen heartburn or acid brash, avoid it. Avoid:fatty/greasy/oily foods, cheese, peppermint, chocolate, alcohol, tomatoes, caffeine, citrus, overeating.

Question 4

is unsalted and unbuttered popcorn good for acid reflux?

Accepted Answer

Irrelevant: Popcorn is neither good nor bad for acid reflux. If you are overweight, losing weight would be helpful.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Wish you good health!
