Lucky Charms Cereal, Chicago, IL, USA

9 months ago

Chicago, Illinois, United States

I haven’t had Lucky Charms in years, but I don’t remember it ever making me sick before. I had a bowl 2 days ago, and the next thing I know I’m bloating, nauseous, and having bright blue diarrhoea. I was confused, but tried it again later today thinking it was something else weird, but lo behold it happened again within a few hours, and it was exactly the same. It’s pretty painful, so keep it in mind if you have a sensitive stomach or just don’t feel like going through it. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Bloating
