Cheerios Linked to Illness - Cheerios, Toronto Ontario

1 year ago reported by user-nvcxd216 business

Cheerios, John's NOFRILLS North York, Wilson Avenue, Toronto, ON, Canada

1591 Wilson Avenue, Toronto, M3L 1A5 Ontario, Canada

Suspected food poisoning. Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Stomach Pain, Cramps
Suspected source: Cereal Cheerios
Onset: Right away
Duration: 4 to 12 hours
Sick: Me
Additional information: I had Cheerios in the morning with almond milk and felt immediate nausea after eating them and within a couple of hours I had the worst stomach pain, followed by diarrhea. The stomach pain continued till I went to bed. I don’t eat cheerios often, but my sister does and she had previously said she always needed to go to the bathroom after she ate them. We suspected it was lactose intolerance but later realized her milk is actually lactose free. I had mine with almond milk, so the common denominator here is the cheerios.
Bought it from this grocery store. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Stomach Pain, Cramps

I would suspect the almond milk before the Cheerios.

Are these not symptoms of e-coli contamination?
