was very dehydrated, but then immediately felt the urge to both vomit and use the restroom at the same time. I fought the urge to vomit long enough to use the restroom, and by then the urge had passed just enough to be able to leave the bathroom and lie down. About 3 hours later I am still having stomach pain.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain, Cramps, Lightheaded

I ate two large bowls of Lucky Charms cereal before bed last night (about 4 cups of cereal in total). And got up about 5 hours later with major cramping, diarrhea and heartburn. Output was green. Cramping and mushy stooling still occuring 12 hours later. This is … See More
not the first time the Lucky Charms illness has struck. I’ve been suspicious of the cereal’s association to this affect in the past but didn’t feel certain until of the connection until today. I usually eat two bowls of cereal but my primary gotos are FrostedFlakes and FrostedMiniWheats. I eat the lucky charms from my kids’ supply when I don’t have my gotos available. My kids are little and only eat smaller portions. I’m done buying this stuff for them—something is up with the cereal’s ingredients. Why are they putting in something that causes this sort of GI response? #LuckyCharms  | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Cramps, Heartburn

I'm not sick right now but I'm not planning to be sick not for another year so gotta remind myself don't eat Lucy charms so far I have had 3 stomach aches and there from eating way to much sugar but I know it's not from this cereal because I don't eat it hardly ever.

I haven't ben sick in 13 months and now I know why to avoid lucky charms. You can just tell from the box that there crap. I hope you get better.
