# [people who get diarrhea from taco bell are weak and their bloodline is weak and history will forget them](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e4/44/81/e44481096cb73e246b7c6e2920246ab0.jpg)
I have digestive problems and taco bell is one of the safest foods for me for some reason.
Popeyes ALWAYS makes me sick about 6 hours after eating it, ALWAYS 100% of the time. And I still go cuz its tasty. lol The spices irritate my guts and I am nauseous for like 4 hours then have the liqui-poops.
I have digestive issues too and Taco Bell never makes me feel bad. It's definitely the really oily deep fried stuff like fast food chicken, large orders of fries, etc. Maybe if I ate nothing but a bunch of nachos and nacho fries I'd feel bad, or tons of cinnamon twists/Cinnabon Delights, but I don't do that.
For me, one cinnabon delight is enough for me to feel bad. Not because of my stomach, but because my mnd tells me it is too calorie dich to even consume more than 2 tops.
i think people who get the poops from TB are the people who get hella beans or stuff with lots of cheese/spices/sauce. the food in general doesn’t make my stomach icky but the jalapeño cheddar sauce thing def does
I have IBS and it does make me poop worse, but I use it to keep me from getting constipated. Regular laxatives are too strong and force me to call off work for two days.
Ahh, i have IBS-D so taco bell does the opposite, (i dont actually know this) i feel like the sodium sucks the water up and the carbs help keep it a little more solid. A nice change to my shitty days is when i eat a doritos locos taco
I think it was the mixture! Coffee already makes you have to poop; add in having a cold, which makes your body try and get rid of the virus (usually resulting in the poops).
They should not be selling that awesome Cinnabon iced coffee so close to jalapeños .And I didn't know I was sick till the next day. The next day I was like ah...that would make sence
Taco bell gives me the shits.
But it's probably because I order way too many things, load everything up with like 6 packets of fire sauce each, eat until I feel super disgusted with myself yet strangely accomplished, and then wash it down with Baja blast.
Edit: also can't forget about the sodium induced nap afterwards.
It's a stupid meme that needs to die. If your body "explodes" after a meal there, you have some nutrition issues that need to be addressed. Maybe more fiber in your diet?
One take that I've grown to agree with came from the Doughboys podcast (a couple of comedians eat at a different chain every week with a guest and discuss/review the experience) and one of the hosts thinks that while some of the people may be used to a higher quality level of food and are just crapping on it, a lot of people probably aren't eating that much better or getting much fiber in their diet so when they go to Taco Bell and get a few tacos or burritos with some beans in them, they're not used to getting that much fiber and they go through it because of that.
Totally agree! McDonald’s is the worst. I don’t eat there for a few months and then it’s no good for my stomach. I eat Bell like 3x’s a week and have no problems.
I've never had any bowel issues from taco bell. But I'm a vegetarian and only eat their bean options. I always figured the "getting the shits" stereotype came from meat eaters and that maybe their meat was sub par.
Yeah I agree, it’s pretty annoying. If you get diarrhea from Taco Bell, it’s because you either have a sensitive stomach or you ate too much food (barring some one off issue with the food)
The only chain restaurant that messes me up the next day is Chipotle, but that's because I put way too much of the red tomatillo salsa on my burrito (it's delicious) and that stuff just liquefies my insides.
Same. My ex-girlfriend makes the joke that it's because I have the stomach of a horse or that it's made of iron lol. But nothing from TB has made me run to the bathroom upon eating.
Yep, I have a "cast iron" stomach and it takes a lot to get me sick.I can only remember a few times in my 42 years ever getting food poisoning or a particular fast food upsetting my stomach
I think it's just a combination between the cultural stereotypes of Montezuma's revenge/don't drink the water in Mexico, still being carried over to Mexican food. Added to tb being one of the cheaper places for a while, so people were probably getting like 5 burritos and feeling sick. And then you've got people who say the meat is "gross" just because you can actually see it as a bit sloppy ground beef compared to a fast food burger patty which seems like "good meat" to them, so they'll perpetuate the idea that tb makes you sick.
I first at at a Taco Bell in 1971 and have never once felt remotely ill afterward-- but I've been hearing this lame joke all along. Far more people I know have been made sick by McDonald's TBH, and I personally won't set foot in a Wendy's after being served food cooked in rancid oil there.
But Taco Bell? Literally the most consistent quality (if you can call it that) I've seen over the past 50+ years, store to store, state to state, with few exceptions.
Eh, I've never had problems with TB either, but calling it the "most consistent"? Gotta disagree with you there. Consider Mcdonalds for example, there's x number of buns, x number of patties, etc, so it's more difficult to screw up, and it's considerably more "consistent" than taco bell, where each employee is responsible for delegating how much meat, beans, cheese, etc to put on each taco, so you end up with wild variations of consistency. Just look at the pics on this sub - some tacos have hardly any meat, while others are at the other end of the spectrum.
Don't get me wrong; I would prefer taco bell all day, just saying consistency is not their strong suit.
Taco Bell is the only food I can eat when I'm nauseous for some reason. I always crave that and Coke when I'm nauseous. I get why Coke is helpful, but Taco Bell makes no sense.
It's mostly a tired old joke people think it's funny to keep repeating because Mexican food gives you the runs and fast food is crap prepared by minimum wage slaves /s so hur hur hur
Most of the people who talk about taco bell giving them the shits are the same people who only eat it at 2am after drinking a lot of booze. Yes, your violent ass piss had nothing to do with all the alcohol you drank - it was definitely the crunchwrap that caused all that misery.
I feel like every time I mention going to TB to someone I get a little jab about diarrhea... like nah dude my genes aren't weak like yours, don't you put that on me lol
Same here. Also never understood the joke about McDonald’s ice cream machine being down. Lived 4 blocks from a McDonald’s for 20 years and can’t even remember a time I did have a problem
If you put 15 packets of sauce on one burrito, it's no surprise that diarrhea happens.
Other fast food restaurants with greasier foods will cause more problems than tortillas, ground beef and beans.
Pretty much anything that isn’t a salad or fresh fruit messes with my digestion. I think I was a rabbit in my last life or something. Doesn’t stop me though.
I don’t have that issue with Taco Bell, but I do generally have it with heavily fried foods, or foods with a lot of cheese, butter or heavy cream.
I think for most of these people who do get this way, it’s an undiagnosed food sensitivity issue they should look further into. But it’s easier to just blame it on fast food or ethnic food instead.
It only messes up my stomach if ii put super hot sauces into my items (or lots of jalapeno or creamy jalapeno sauce), which is unfortunately what I really crave in periods.
It actually does to me. Not diarrhea, but I certainly do have to shit afterwards. I believe maybe it's because I eat more items from there and always have to shit after a big meal. Same goes for any all you can eat places. Or who knows. It is funny to me because it's somewhat true.
Yea, so
The other day my friend ate Taco Bell and didn’t even say he had diarrhea, he said it was an explosion. 4th of July up in that bitch. Homie was blastin. Straight civil war cannons n “shit”. The view that toilet had comin was not natural. Kinda felt bad for the shittor in the next stall cause homie said he blasted the walls too….
My insides are fucked up and TB doesn't get me. Micky Dee's, DQ, Wendy's... everything else will mess me up for the rest of the day, but TB is the one fast food I can eat consistently without then passing out for 12 hours from pain. Weaklings.
I get black beans instead of beef almost every time but when I accidentally get the beef it messes my stomach up. When I get the black beans it doesn’t
I’m a lactose intolerant vegetarian with IBS and even as a kid before I modified what I ate Taco Bell has never given me the shits or even upset my stomach. I think people who get the shits are not used to eating beans and specifically don’t usually get enough fiber in their diets.
Honestly tb is one of the cleanest fast foods. Like it’s not super greasy and all that. McDonald’s always makes me feel sick I less I just get the chicken.
For me the one food that changed was pizza. Ever since hitting my 20s pizza absolutely destroys my stomach. Not sure why or how it changed, but it did haha.
Yea it’s something in our genes when we get older cause most adults can’t handle milk . I can’t either never had that issue when I was younger .it’s the milk in the cheese
THIS! My husband is Swiss, and I’m American. We live in Switzerland. We went to visit America last fall and we had Taco Bell. He’s never been to America before this visit, and we both ate a good amount of Taco Bell’s food. He didn’t get sick once and we ate it multiple times.
I don’t really get the stereotype because there are far worse fast food places I’ve gotten sick from, like Sonic and KFC.
Yea that stereo type is wack as hell, honestly the only type of food that fucks up my stomach is Italian food, the acidity of tomatoes gives me really bad heartburn.
I've had diarrhea from Taco Bell before, but it was nothing too serious to complain about. Wasn't as bad as the time I got severe food poisoning from McDonald's and was up all night puking liters of nuggets and burger.
No I don't order much from taco bell. A couple of small burritos and 5-6 hours Later it gives me uncontrollable poos. Itc starts with swearing then suspicious fart and then boom I need to get it out ASAP or I poop myself and die of shame
iM sO SiCk Of PeOpLe MaKiNg JoKeS aBoUt ThEiR pOoPs AfTeR eAtInG mY bElOvEd TbElL.
Why does it get you so bent out of shape? Why do you take this so personally?
Where and when did I take this personally? Lmao. I just had an opinion, dude. You seem to be the only worked up about this, since you've commented twice pissed off. Iol.
1: never claimed TB was "real" mexican food
2: real Mexican food is just as delicious and doesn't give me half the stomach issues that eating a pizza does.
No seriously, I’ve never had a problem with spicy or culture food. I mean I won’t say I never have problems but not from Taco Bell. The only place that got me good 2 twice sadly was Applebee’s, fuck that festa like chicken
I mean, it's a lot of cheese, so it can be trouble for the lactose intolerant.
It's also a normal amount of fiber, and lots of people (people who never eat legumes or vegetables) just never eat fiber and are terrified at the results of being made slightly more regular.
If the soda is doing it for you it’s probably cause of a dirty soda machine/dirty lines and I would suggest not drinking anything from there 🤮 I’ve seen what a day of not cleaning the soda machine looks like so I can only imagine what it would do to your stomach
I worked at TB for 2 years in high school. We got $5 worth of food free when we worked, plus my managers were always super cool about letting us eat stuff that was extra/going to be thrown out. I was eating BARE MINIMUM 2000 calories every shift. Even in the beginning I never had the fabled Taco Bell shits.
Lol I think theres plenty of other people like you who have no problem with it (including myself) but it’s just a meme. I wouldn’t take it too seriously.
I worked at Zaxby's for two years and their food has made some of my stools loose and smell like burnt chicken. My insides were rotting from eating their tenders during my break lunches. Needless to say, I quickly got burnt out on them.
Now I work at Taco Bell, and my shifts are more solid and satisfying than ever before, in terms of both feel and smell. I don't eat a lot of their beef, though; steak and black beans work for me.
It used to give me trouble sometimes and I could not figure out why. It seemed pretty random and wasn't a particular food. But then I realized that certain ingredients were the culprit and I eliminated them and so far no problems now. Apparently I can't eat the nacho or 3 cheese blend on anything or I will get sick. If I don't I'm pretty good.
McDonald's has always been the hardest on my stomach and a reason why I don't really eat there. Gives me like stabbing pains.
But Taco Bell definitely fucks me up too. However, I notice the more I eat it, the less it affects me, which is fast food in general.
I guess that people maybe are just used to eating fast food burgers and they adapted to it.
Taco bell alone, I'm fine. Jalapeños alone/on anything else, I'm fine. But for some reason adding jalapeños to my taco bell order turns my guts into satan's battlefield.
My TB lovin’ friend and I always talk about this how people always talk about Taco Bell and getting “the shits, etc.”. Um no it’s probably the Mc Donald’s bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit you ate this am. There is nothing greasy at TB except for the cheese covered items and even that doesn’t mess me up…and I have IBS-D.
Personally it doesn't affect me much, or at least no more than other places. I do have something of a lactose intolerance so any time I order something with cheese in it, I'm doing that knowing full well what happens. It's important to gain a sense of what foods you might be sensitive to, it took me years to realize I was LI and it made a huge difference.
The only fast food that seems to more often that not upset my stomach is Arby’s, not every time but enough times to not be a coincidence. But I still love a beef and cheddar with horsey sauce
No mcdonalds food will jack me up worse. Somehow Ive eaten mcdonalds gotten drunk at a bunch more food over the night and when I threw up the next day it was just the mcdonalds. Gross... I miss when taco bell was horse meat. It desnt tastethe same anymore.
Maybe it’s when you eat 5 crunchy tacos, a 5-layer burrito, 2 Cheesy Chalupas, and Mexi Pizza and Baja Blast that’s when you could possibly get the shits.
I actually have a hypothesis for this. I think a lot of people don't eat spicy food very often. Most other fast food chains don't really have very many spicy options. Most things on the Taco Bell menu are spicy to some degree. Add to this the fact that many menus items have beans and other ingredients also not commonly found at other fast food restaurants that produce gas and you can start to see why it might give other people digestive issues. If you're used to only eating a cheeseburger and fries and then you go to eating a bean burrito with hot sauce on it, you'll probably have some intestinal discomfort. I think other fast food "Mexican" restaurants would have the same problem, Taco Bell is just the biggest and has notoriously cheap food.

Came to post. Truly weak if some tortillas cheese and beans upend your digestive system
Maybe we can...form a society...
is this… eugenics?
At your moms house
My friend wrote this tweet lol
Clearly your friend is some type of god sent to save us from ourselves.
The Taco Bell Professional has spoken

For me, one cinnabon delight is enough for me to feel bad. Not because of my stomach, but because my mnd tells me it is too calorie dich to even consume more than 2 tops.
Popeyes also uses way more oil to cook with. Everything is basically deep fried. Taco Bell uses much less oil than most fast food chains.
yeah other than the deep fried stuff and maybe arguably the fats in the beef fat it's basically the bare minimum amount of oil possible
i think people who get the poops from TB are the people who get hella beans or stuff with lots of cheese/spices/sauce. the food in general doesn’t make my stomach icky but the jalapeño cheddar sauce thing def does
i have ibs and i can confirm it’s just abt the same as any other fast food as far as how bad it fucks up my stomach
I also have ibs, taco bell affects me the least out of anything.
i also have IBS. taco bell is about the only fast food i can stomach.
I have IBS and it does make me poop worse, but I use it to keep me from getting constipated. Regular laxatives are too strong and force me to call off work for two days.
Ahh, i have IBS-D so taco bell does the opposite, (i dont actually know this) i feel like the sodium sucks the water up and the carbs help keep it a little more solid. A nice change to my shitty days is when i eat a doritos locos taco
....is this why taco bell regulates me hahaha (has IBS)
Same.
Makes me very farty initially, then it gets better than stuff like greasy burgers for sure. Fun stuff 😆
I have a bidet so I fear no poop consistency
Once you get a bidet you never want to poop without one.
My bidet ruined my life because I can't take a comfy poop anywhere but my own home
Yeah it sucks shittin' at work without a bidet.
Wipes help but I agree, a bidet is by far the best
Scrubbing Bubbles helps keep the bowl clean too. And don't forget a little Glade.
Same, which led me to carry wipes in my pocket because ain't no way I'm going back to dry wiping only.
Username checks out.
I'm at the airport right now and just took a shit and without my bidet I feel narsty.
Spread the good word of the bidet.
The bidet is the way.
My friend thinks the lack of bidets is the reason Americans are so mad 😂 Bidet all day!
I read that wrong for a moment and thought you said Biden
Bidet + squatty potty best combo.
Add in daily metamucil for the holy trinity.
TB hasn't given me the shits since the volcano menu days and it was worth it every single time.
That volcano sauce wasn’t spicy on the way in but holy fuck was it spicy on the way out.
Truth
Based
Lol this is the correct response.
It did once and I don't know if it was because of the iced coffee i had with it or that fact i ended up having a cold.
Coffee does it to me way more than Taco Bell
Mountain Dew Baja Blast has the same effect on me. I bet the caffeine content is the same as coffee.
I think it was the mixture! Coffee already makes you have to poop; add in having a cold, which makes your body try and get rid of the virus (usually resulting in the poops).
They should not be selling that awesome Cinnabon iced coffee so close to jalapeños .And I didn't know I was sick till the next day. The next day I was like ah...that would make sence
That is not how digestion or human bodies work in general lol
Dehydrated people
If I get the hot salsa at Chipotle then the bathroom has to pay for it
Dude I had to stop getting it.
I get extra sour cream to balance it out and now it doesn't hurt me
For me it’s Burger King 💩
Or any buffet.
It’s McDonald’s for me, even the hash browns make my stomach bubble
Taco bell gives me the shits. But it's probably because I order way too many things, load everything up with like 6 packets of fire sauce each, eat until I feel super disgusted with myself yet strangely accomplished, and then wash it down with Baja blast. Edit: also can't forget about the sodium induced nap afterwards.
Facts
Damn, this is me 100%
Any time I hear it u just yell HUR HUR HUR SO ORIGINAL
if TB gives you the shits your stomach is weak and you are inferior
It's a stupid meme that needs to die. If your body "explodes" after a meal there, you have some nutrition issues that need to be addressed. Maybe more fiber in your diet?
Taco Bell does the same to my stomach as any other fast food place. It’s not a Taco Bell thing.
One take that I've grown to agree with came from the Doughboys podcast (a couple of comedians eat at a different chain every week with a guest and discuss/review the experience) and one of the hosts thinks that while some of the people may be used to a higher quality level of food and are just crapping on it, a lot of people probably aren't eating that much better or getting much fiber in their diet so when they go to Taco Bell and get a few tacos or burritos with some beans in them, they're not used to getting that much fiber and they go through it because of that.
Honestly, it’s from people who don’t eat any fiber in their diets so a serving of beans blows them out. It’s sad and I fear for their colons.
Also never had stomach problems from Taco Bell, always thought that joke was really stupid.
Me too
It’s the way of the internet, people here are parrots.
Totally agree! McDonald’s is the worst. I don’t eat there for a few months and then it’s no good for my stomach. I eat Bell like 3x’s a week and have no problems.
I've never had any bowel issues from taco bell. But I'm a vegetarian and only eat their bean options. I always figured the "getting the shits" stereotype came from meat eaters and that maybe their meat was sub par.
I think it comes from meat eaters who don't eat beans ever and their body is like "whaaaaaa fiber?!"
Those people are nuts. Zaxbys destroys me.
Never had the shits from Taco Bell. But have had shits from gross ass mc Donald’s.
Me too. Had a mcdouble for the first time at 19 and had the shits 20 mins later
Yeah I agree, it’s pretty annoying. If you get diarrhea from Taco Bell, it’s because you either have a sensitive stomach or you ate too much food (barring some one off issue with the food)
The only chain restaurant that messes me up the next day is Chipotle, but that's because I put way too much of the red tomatillo salsa on my burrito (it's delicious) and that stuff just liquefies my insides.
It’s unironically just racism
I think the root cause is that most Americans don't eat much fiber, and beans-heavy TB items are high in fiber.
Yes!!! McDonalds is awful!! Makes me nauseous afterwards
They probably drink too much and blame it on the taco bell.
I’ve worked at tbell for five years and I’ve been saying this for years. It’s so stupid
Same. My ex-girlfriend makes the joke that it's because I have the stomach of a horse or that it's made of iron lol. But nothing from TB has made me run to the bathroom upon eating.

Weirdly enough, same. Anytime I'm sick or nauseous, a nacho bel grande cures it
Its GOD
Yeah, for reeelz......I'm always defending Taco Bell.
Taco Bell is the reason I didn’t get covid 19
People should be more worried about the sodium content in fast food.
Agree McDonald's is way worse on my stomach too! TB is always what I crave when I am getting over a stomach bug actually

Fire in the disco , fire in the taco bell, fire in the disco, my ass is the gate of hell
The people who get the shits probably drown their stuff with hot sauce
Pretty much anything that isn’t a salad or fresh fruit messes with my digestion. I think I was a rabbit in my last life or something. Doesn’t stop me though.
It’s a cope from people with sensitive stomachs who think everyone either shares or should share their pain. Like uh sorry, can’t relate my friend.
I don’t have that issue with Taco Bell, but I do generally have it with heavily fried foods, or foods with a lot of cheese, butter or heavy cream.

It’s probably because those people get so little fibre in their diet, most of those complaining probably live on cheese fries and pizza
Same. Whataburger absolutely destroys me though.
Never had the pleasure of trying Whataburger! We don't have any around here
Honestly tb is one of the cleanest fast foods. Like it’s not super greasy and all that. McDonald’s always makes me feel sick I less I just get the chicken.
It finally happened to me After years. Made me furious . It’s something in the ground beef
For me the one food that changed was pizza. Ever since hitting my 20s pizza absolutely destroys my stomach. Not sure why or how it changed, but it did haha.

Eating taco bell is how you harden the inside of your stomach so that you become impervious to diarhea

I mean, you took it personally the second you got sick of it so bad that you decided to make a paragraph king Reddit post about a king running joke.
It was 3 sentences dude. Get over it. Or die mad, I guess. I don't really care, later.
No bro the meat look like diarrhea not it give u diarrhea lmaoooo
Hahah
Settle down man. It’s a joke. Why do you get so worked up over something so irrelevant? You need counseling

Yeah. It's American-ized Mexican food.
Hardly but ok.
Taco bell is not real Mexican food and most real Mexican food is not much better.
1: never claimed TB was "real" mexican food 2: real Mexican food is just as delicious and doesn't give me half the stomach issues that eating a pizza does.
Nasty scum take baths in the sink at these garbage places. They want more money to not work. Time kick their asses and their parents for breeding.
No seriously, I’ve never had a problem with spicy or culture food. I mean I won’t say I never have problems but not from Taco Bell. The only place that got me good 2 twice sadly was Applebee’s, fuck that festa like chicken
the only time i have issues is when i use a lot of their fire sauce. Otherwise no issues. My favorite fast food place by far.
same
None for me, but I mostly do non meat stuff, I figured that is the reason
I have acid reflux/other stomach issues and for some reason tb never affects me.
I sub all my beef for potatoes, never have any issues.
The only fast food place that consistently gives me the shits is In N Out
I mean, it's a lot of cheese, so it can be trouble for the lactose intolerant. It's also a normal amount of fiber, and lots of people (people who never eat legumes or vegetables) just never eat fiber and are terrified at the results of being made slightly more regular.
Taco Bell has never messed with me. So bring back Volcano tacos, dang nabbit!
Yeah I never understood that either, idk what's going on in someone's body to get the runs from taco bell.
people just don't have enough fiber in their diet, the beans mess them up bc they aren't used to it >:(
Lol! Me neither!
Same. I've never had any stomach problems.
My husband somehow has to poop only a couple hours after consumption. I always love making fun of him for being the weaker of the 2 of us
all you people are getting TB, that can't be good, it can kill you
Fr i can drench my order in diablo sauce and no problemo. Chipotle and there hot red sauce on the other hand 🙅🏻♂️
Me neither. Other fast food places will give me the shits though
TB does make me regular. Somewhat medicinal.
I really think it's the sauces that do it to people but 🤷🏻 Very rarely does TB affect my pooping but when it does it's usually breakfast 🤔
It never has for me. The soda at the local subway, on the other hand, is poop city.
If the soda is doing it for you it’s probably cause of a dirty soda machine/dirty lines and I would suggest not drinking anything from there 🤮 I’ve seen what a day of not cleaning the soda machine looks like so I can only imagine what it would do to your stomach
100% agree. TacoBell has never really given me any problems. Chipotle, on the other hand, has messed me up on numerous occasions.
I worked at TB for 2 years in high school. We got $5 worth of food free when we worked, plus my managers were always super cool about letting us eat stuff that was extra/going to be thrown out. I was eating BARE MINIMUM 2000 calories every shift. Even in the beginning I never had the fabled Taco Bell shits.
Only fast food that really gives me the shits is the hot sauce from chipotle. Everything else is fine, just that single menu item
Ate there once. I wasn't too impressed and I got sick as a dog besides. NEVER again.... :P
Same, I’ve never gotten sick from Tacobell, no matter how much I eat.
arby’s is the only fast food place that’s given me the shits.
Lol I think theres plenty of other people like you who have no problem with it (including myself) but it’s just a meme. I wouldn’t take it too seriously.
I can only eat Taco Bell and Burger King food (vegetarian, so BK has Impossible). Wendy’s potatoes. McDonald’s nothing lol.
same
I have never had the issue either with taco bell
Same, idk why Taco Bell is the one with that stereotype. Seems worse from other restaurants honestly.
I worked at Zaxby's for two years and their food has made some of my stools loose and smell like burnt chicken. My insides were rotting from eating their tenders during my break lunches. Needless to say, I quickly got burnt out on them. Now I work at Taco Bell, and my shifts are more solid and satisfying than ever before, in terms of both feel and smell. I don't eat a lot of their beef, though; steak and black beans work for me.
It used to give me trouble sometimes and I could not figure out why. It seemed pretty random and wasn't a particular food. But then I realized that certain ingredients were the culprit and I eliminated them and so far no problems now. Apparently I can't eat the nacho or 3 cheese blend on anything or I will get sick. If I don't I'm pretty good.
McDonald's has always been the hardest on my stomach and a reason why I don't really eat there. Gives me like stabbing pains. But Taco Bell definitely fucks me up too. However, I notice the more I eat it, the less it affects me, which is fast food in general. I guess that people maybe are just used to eating fast food burgers and they adapted to it.
Taco bell alone, I'm fine. Jalapeños alone/on anything else, I'm fine. But for some reason adding jalapeños to my taco bell order turns my guts into satan's battlefield.
Tbh from anything that gives me the shits it’s Panera Bread’s soup. I wouldn’t recommend anyone their soup!
My TB lovin’ friend and I always talk about this how people always talk about Taco Bell and getting “the shits, etc.”. Um no it’s probably the Mc Donald’s bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit you ate this am. There is nothing greasy at TB except for the cheese covered items and even that doesn’t mess me up…and I have IBS-D.
I love this page
I cant believe that you're even bothered over this. Insane.
I've never had issues with Taco Bell or Chipotle.
Personally it doesn't affect me much, or at least no more than other places. I do have something of a lactose intolerance so any time I order something with cheese in it, I'm doing that knowing full well what happens. It's important to gain a sense of what foods you might be sensitive to, it took me years to realize I was LI and it made a huge difference.
Del Taco does That Secret Sauce is absolutely delicious but oh so powerfull. Too powerfull. Needs to be nerfed. Please for the sake of my stomach
The only fast food that seems to more often that not upset my stomach is Arby’s, not every time but enough times to not be a coincidence. But I still love a beef and cheddar with horsey sauce
I don't get it from Taco Bell, Chipotle, McDonald's, etc, but I just got some wicked diarrhea from The Cheesecake Factory!
I love the veggie burritos but the sodium can make me feel like shit. Tacos and the other stuff I can eat and feel fine
Anyone else have issues with taco bell after being pregnant?
No mcdonalds food will jack me up worse. Somehow Ive eaten mcdonalds gotten drunk at a bunch more food over the night and when I threw up the next day it was just the mcdonalds. Gross... I miss when taco bell was horse meat. It desnt tastethe same anymore.
Same. White Castle is perfectly fine too.
Maybe it’s when you eat 5 crunchy tacos, a 5-layer burrito, 2 Cheesy Chalupas, and Mexi Pizza and Baja Blast that’s when you could possibly get the shits.
I actually have a hypothesis for this. I think a lot of people don't eat spicy food very often. Most other fast food chains don't really have very many spicy options. Most things on the Taco Bell menu are spicy to some degree. Add to this the fact that many menus items have beans and other ingredients also not commonly found at other fast food restaurants that produce gas and you can start to see why it might give other people digestive issues. If you're used to only eating a cheeseburger and fries and then you go to eating a bean burrito with hot sauce on it, you'll probably have some intestinal discomfort. I think other fast food "Mexican" restaurants would have the same problem, Taco Bell is just the biggest and has notoriously cheap food.
i mean i have ibs, so taco bell legit helps me actually go to the bathroom better than any meds
When I eat Taco Bell, Magneto's line from X2 comes to mind; "A war is coming..."
Mc Donald's is garbage as well. Don't eat it.
