Every since I stopped eating both dry cherios and oatmeal daily(because I read about pesticide in them and stopped eating them)the headaches Id had daily for months suddenly STOPPED. I know its not coincidence because they began when I started a daily regime of oats in the... See More a. M., Dry cherios as a nightly bedtime snack and assumed it was from from almond milk so I quit using it and still got daily headaches and constant dehydration until I quit them. I presently have 5 large boxes of them for the month ordered before I read about the pesticide and cant give it to wildlife in good concience, was too costly to throw away and positively cant eat something when I am so sensitive to pesticides and defoliants so why cant I get a refund on them? | Symptoms: Dehydration, Headache See Less


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 See Less

I ate Apple Cinnamon Cheerios Sunday and Monday morning February 25th & 26th but the box had been opened for several months. I had diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and a headache. I am not positive if it could have been food poisoning or a form of flu. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Headache See Less

Only thing changed in diet was veggie cheerios. After first morning eating them felt bloated and off. The next two days just got worse the third day at work I got violently ill diarrhea, sick throwing up on a 12 hour shift. Working by myself night shift... See More , horrible!
Missed next night of work. Recovering during missed night off I worked again, almost back to 100% by end of shift. Only eat bread, water, milk and bonebroth. Felt really good when I got home took dogs for walk. Ate small bowl of veggie cheerios, in a 30 min felt sick! Woke up feeling like crap and having diarrhea again! Not throwing up yet! It has to be the new box of veggie cheerios! Normal cheerios never gave me any issues. What is going on! After trying to figure it out I searched on line could it be cheerios? No way! Found out I'm not the only one! Keeping left over cheerios to figure out what to do about it. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting

Many years ago I had berry cheerios and experienced diarrhea. I wasn’t sure if it was the cheerios or something else (although, they were the only change in food that week). Haven’t eaten any type of Cheerios since then and that was at least 8 years ago.... See More Fast forward to a few days ago- had been eating honey but cheerios for about a week. Had them Sat morning + a small salad that afternoon. Then again on Sunday, had cheerios for breakfast. Within 2 hours- had extreme vomiting and diarrhea for the next day. I’m certain it was from the cheerios given I barely ate anything else in 48 hours and it brought back the memory of what happened before. Except this was worse. I reported this to General Mills and the FDA. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Other See Less
