    If Mexican food gives you the shits, you need to eat more fiber so your digestive system doesn’t immediately panic on contact with beans.

      My guess is it’s the cholula, or Taco Bell, or ordering deep fried chimichangas, or other Tex-Mex, most freshly made authentic mexican food is simple ingredients that should definitely not cause someone to have the shits

        Japan has Taco Bell so that’s definitely an option if you want to really make use of those toilets.

          yeah, but their taco bell kind of sucks major ass because they don’t have access to the same ingredients, or something along those lines, I can’t quite remember.

            It wouldn’t surprise me. Japan does rice and beef very well. But tomatoes and lettuce are far less common in Asia. I’m actually traveling to Japan early next year at some point. Will try Taco Bell and report back

              Tell me whether or not they have any good black bean tacos. I’m interested in their bean variety, because I’m not sure to what extent they have the same beanage as over here. I have to expect that they have some level, as otherwise you’d get no bean paste pastries, no miso soup bean stock, yadda yadda. I expect a full report on my desk by may 2024.

      Some people are sensitive to an enzyme in beans as well, I’m blanking on what it’s called atm. But I’m a vegetarian that eats beans like 3-5 times a week and my poops are legendary the day after eating them. Lentils too, to a lesser degree

        I lack that enzyme genetically. I am allergic to alcohol, and so when my stomach can’t digest beans corn, or even eggs, they sit in my intestines, start to ferment, and I am in a world of hurt.

        But good shits are the point. Fiber takes on water in your gut which increases the volume of the shit in question and it makes them super soft or lose shape entirely. Pretty much all my shits are like that because of my high fiber intake.

      Man, it ain’t the beans, it’s the peppers and/or spices.

      Seriously, I’m not fucking with you. Beans are great insoluble fiber, and they reduce the effect of the other ingredients to some degree. This is a widely used way for IBS sufferers to reduce the impact of the effect. Extra beans, as long as you aren’t sensitive to the beans themselves (which is a thing), or added dairy (again, if that isn’t a trigger for you), and doubling up the tortillas all help to some degree.

      If the dish is also fatty, that’s going to end in your end not ending well. Since what a lot of people think of as “Mexican” tends to be like what you get at Chipotle or Taco Bell, the fattiness is assumed.

        I eat hella hot sauce and peppers and… yeah. They’ll do that to you. My mouth is fine with any amount of spice but when it contacts any other part of my body (or I inhale a tiny bit!) I realize holy shit, this stuff is caustic.
