over 24 hours since I ate the cereal and I’m still constantly in and out of the bathroom and in substantial pain. I truly feel like I’ve been poisoned, so I considered going to the ER, but just searched my symptoms and couldn’t believe it matched so many others after eating Lucky Charms. I used to love that cereal but haven’t had it in years, not sure what they changed, but I will never eat it ever again.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Cramps, Green Stool
