– The author mentions the term “Taco Bell shit” on Urban Dictionary, which refers to large and smelly bowel movements caused by eating Taco Bell.
– The author states that many people have experienced diarrhea after eating at Taco Bell.
– They suggest that the fructose and caffeine in Taco Bell’s drinks, as well as the gluten, grease, and spices in their food, can trigger bowel movements.
– The excessive fiber from beans or an allergic reaction to cheese or sour cream may also be factors.
– Not everyone reacts to the same ingredients in Taco Bell food, so there may be more than one menu item causing the urge to use the restroom.
– The correct balance of water secreted and absorbed in the digestive tract determines the consistency of stool.
– Two types of diarrhea: osmotic and secretory.
– Osmotic diarrhea occurs when there are so many non-water particles in the colon that water cannot be reabsorbed.
– Secretory diarrhea occurs when the small intestine secretes more water than necessary.
– One potential reason for diarrhea after eating Taco Bell is the spice in their menu items.
– Capsaicin, found in spicy ingredients, activates TRPV1 receptors in the gastrointestinal system, causing cramping and faster movement of the GI system.
– Another potential reason for diarrhea is dairy products like sour cream and cheese.
– Over 60% of the population in North America is lactose intolerant, meaning they cannot fully digest lactose in milk.
– Aging bodies produce less of the enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose, leading to indigestion, bloating, and gas.
– Beans contain a high amount of fiber that attracts water in the digestive system, making it easier to pass stool.
– Beans also contain an oligosaccharide carbohydrate that becomes food for bacteria in the colon, causing gassing and bloating.
– Consumption of beef helps draw water into the colon and adds bulk to stool.
– Some people may lack enough stomach acid to properly digest animal fat and protein, contributing to increased bowel movements.

– Greasy food triggers gastrocolic reflexes in the gut, increasing the pressure of contraction and potentially leading to diarrhea.
– Taco Bell’s menu contains items with excessive amounts of saturated fat, exceeding recommended daily intake.
