Does Special K cereal give anyone else the shits?

Exciting thread alert.

Just curious.

I have no dietary issues etc. I love Special K and often have it instead of a proper tea. But it really clears me out and makes me wake up with stomach ache 😳 no other cereal in the world affects me like this. Not even Weetabix and such.

To make it more interesting I can throw in that DP gives me grief when I eat it because apparently its not a proper meal. LTB etc etc.

Cereal as a rule is utter shit.

have you tried having it as a dessert option (more fitting for what it is) as a smaller portion so you can enjoy it but maybe protect your gut a bit?

Yea could do thats not a bad shout, I just REALLY enjoy it 🤣 must say its not a huge negative either that it is like ive had an enema the morning after 😂 just found it weird it affects me like this but other cereals are fine

It has artificial sweeteners in it doesn’t it? Those can have a laxative effect.
