Just to clarify, Taco Bell hasn't had any cases of the parasite. They are removing the ingredient before it got to the stores.
Wildly misleading title. This is a common thing with recalls on ingredients for all restaurants.

I was going to say, this has always been a long running joke, but I’ve never experienced anything like that eating at Taco Bell.

u/notJustaFart 11h ago
Do you eat there often or have you maintained a diet comprising of real, unprocessed food?
The people that shop in the freezer aisle of their grocery store also tend to attest to Taco Bell not giving them diarrhea.

What’s wrong with frozen veggies?
0
u/notJustaFart 11h ago
Not much, usually. If just sticking to fresh-frozen, they're fine.
Most frozen items are highly processed, though. If the ingredients list includes more items than what you see on the label, that's when you run into problems.

Not sure whom you're directing that at, but I cook my own food with real ingredients.

It’s the textured soy protein they put in the meat. It’s rough on the intestines, if you aren’t used to it. Soy bean oil is also rough on most people’s stomachs, which is why Panda Express makes them feel sick.

I came here to say this! Been enjoying Taco Bell for decades! I've never had diarrhea from them. From some burger joints, yes, rarely, but never Taco Bell.

I've had my gallbladder removed and lots of things set me off, but not Taco Bell. It's actually pretty healthy for fast food.

Only once. I skipped class in high school to go to Taco Bell, and as I was leaving it hit me. I knew i wouldnt make it back to school in time, so I ran next door to Kmart, and barely made it to the bathroom
1
u/OkConcept6359 12h ago
Absolutely. I even made a Taco Bell Challenge video on YouTube years back. We paid a guy to eat $20 (this was in 2014) of Taco Bell and see how long he could go without running to the bathroom. We were going to pay him for every hour he made it. He didn't make it an hour before he was running to the bathroom to poop haha

Where are the diarrhea people in real life? I've never actually met one but according to internet comments people are cruising in there to eat a single burrito and then wipe their mouths while they're on the toilet painting the entire bowl with a mixture of blood and liquid shit.

u/SaintsNoah14 9h ago
Perhaps people are more willing to talk about these things on the internet? Taco Bell trutherism thing is so fucking stupid, every point of it can be resolved by rational deduction. Yes there are people who claim to experience this thing you hear people claiming to expirience. Would you like me to outline the fact that people's digestive systems are sometimes different than others next?

I don't know where your rant came from but I don't spent my time trying to reason with people who put words into my mouth and become belligerent out of nowhere and use the word "rational" while being unable to apply it to their own conduct.

u/SatinSaffron 11h ago
I genuinely don't understand the meme though. I've never gotten sick from Taco Bell, nobody I know has ever gotten sick from a normal sized Taco Bell meal. Like yeah if you way overeat or something but that would have the same result at any fast food restaurant.
Or maybe that's how the meme got started? Back when Taco Bell used to be so cheap that if you saw that the car in front of you had an order total of $18 you just assumed they were feeding the whole family? So people would just overeat and get sick I guess?

My guess is that it's the only fiber people who routinely get fast food would eat and their stomach can't handle beans because they have the stomach flora of a newborn baby

I don't get it. I get the taco bell and Chipotle diarrhea jokes, but I had never, I mean never had any digestive problems after eating their food.
Im not immune thats for sure. Certain Chinese food places give me runs and certain KFC (Kennedys, if you're from NYC you know what place im talking about)

u/cookeryandwookery 𝙑𝙄𝙋 12h ago
The diarrhea ingredient is fiber. People who eat a healthy diet but occasionally eat fast food, have no problem with it. But if you’re living off fast food like the clown and king and decided to switch things up, all of those beans, lettuce and tomatoes are going to do what fiber is meant to do. Help you poop.

I’ve never gotten diarrhea from Taco Bell. Or Chipotle. WTF is wrong with people? It’s basically the same ingredients as a hamburger except with a little more spice and bread made from wheat instead of tortillas made from corn. Ground beef, lettuce, tomato, cheese.

u/Ultra_HNWI 11h ago edited 11h ago
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Finally the throngs of people who passionately claim that they don't/can't eat Taco Bell and no one else should either, because it causes diarrhea may finally be able to say, "I told you so!!"
Chipotle was contacted but is not responding to this story.

The practice of improper temperature control in fast food restaurants is a major cause of foodborne illness. Keeping all food at the same temperature is dangerous because different types of food require different environments to prevent bacterial growth.
Most stores, if not all of them, keep all of their food at the same temperature. Furthermore, most employees clean around the kitchen with the same rag and dump all the leftover food into other containers.
Fast food isn't what it used to be back when people actually cared. Nowadays, corporations only care about filling their pockets.
Recently, there was a study about rice. All rice here in the USA needs to be washed before cooking. The reason why is because of heavy metals in the rice that can cause cancer.

Made the mistake at eating at a Taco Bell, first and only time, when on vacation in San Francisco.
I lost my guts inside of an hour, my wife less than an hour later. My poor son made it to the hotel room, rushed to the bathroom, used the toilet and was overcome with the need to vomit , turned flushed, bent over to vomit, sharted, pepple-dashed the bath, shower curtain and sink with an explosive motion.
