Breakfast Cereal Food Poisoning

Breakfast Cereal Food Poisoning

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.

Last week I started having Pumpkin spice cheerios for breakfast.  Since than 8 days later, I’m having diarrhea after each meal.   I just realized that my stools have an orange color.   I don’t eat carrots very often.  As I reached for the cereal today, I has an Ah Ha moment.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea

2 times I've eaten the cereal at night. I wake up with a sour stomach and can still burp up the cereal. The whole next few days my stomach is bloated, gassy, and queezy.
