    It is possible to get sick from cereal. In 2018 Quaker Oats recalled Capn' Crunch due to a Salmonella outbreak that infected 135 people. In 2010 Kellogg's recalled 28 million boxes of cereal due to 'off-flavor and smell'  and the possibility of symptoms, including nausea and diarrhea.

    Had a bowl of Cap’nCrunch before bed. Woke up suddenly and started vomiting, about an hour after finishing a bowl.
    Worst feeling ever, there was definitely something wrong with the cereal. Not sure what they’re putting in cereal now but noticed Fruit Loops makes me sick like this also. | Symptoms: Vomiting See Less

    I have never had a food allergy. I recently bought the generic brand Raisin Bran crunch cereal at Aldi. I enjoyed a bowl as a quick, late dinner around 8 pm. Within 30 minutes my hands felt itchy, my ears felt itchy and my mouth and tongue... See More began to swell. Another half hour later I began to experience severe cramping in my lower abdomen. By 10 pm my whole body was red and hot to the touch, even though I was shivering. Shortly after, the diarrhea started. I was running to the bathroom every hour and around 4 am my bowels turned to blood. That’s when I went to the ER. I had developed infectious colitis. I spent 3 days in the hospital getting IV fluids for severe dehydration and antibiotics pumped into my body. I just came home today. I may have saved $2 by buying generic, but it’s going to end up costing me thousands of dollars in hospital bills! | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Dehydration See Less

    I've noticed that everytime I've eaten any General mills cereal , I've gotten sick! It starts with sulfur burps. Then bad gas, that smells like sulfur. Depending on how much I ate sometimes vomiting. It usually ends with either one to a couple bouts of green diarrhea... See More it's a friend of mine told me that means it's the file in your stomach and intestines your body trying to fight off the poison! My best educated guess would be that there are some kind of preservatives or some kind of chemical that is causing this. You don't understand how people can knowingly make food that truly is poison | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Gas See Less
