My daughter gets intense stomach pains whenever she eats General Mills cereals at her grandparent's house. We've experienced this with both Honey Nut Cheerios and Golden Grahams. These symptoms don't occur when she eats Trader Joe's Honey O's or other brands with similar cereals. | Symptoms: Stomach Pain
