Sometimes when I eat Honey Nut Cheerios I get a lump on the roof of my mouth after that goes away by the next day. Could I be allergic to honey? If yes shouldn't I get a lump every time I eat it?

Probably allergic to something else in the HNC if it doesn't happen when you eat plain honey.

Try some apple cinnamon cheerios and see how you react.

Well the thing is I eat Honey Nut everyday but only about 10% of the time do I get a lump.

Do you ever change type of milk used? Material the bowl is made out of? Is the cereal expired 10% of the time?

maybe sometimes you brush your teeth right before you eat it and the toothpaste reacts with the HNC?

Sounds like the rough texture of the Cheerios is irritating the roof of your mouth, causing swelling or possibly even bursting small blood vessels.

Maybe if he's eating them dry. If he's going the traditional with milk route then I find this theory dubious.

Nope. Adding milk to the equation doesn't change anything, unless you're letting the cereal get soggy.

It acts as a lubricant, decreasing the friction between the cheerios and the roof of your mouth.

I probably use less milk than most. Soggy Cheerios makes me cranky.
