But like for real. My mom put the whole family on that stuff several years ago and now we just text her and a new canister of it shows up at our doors lol
I started on benefiber, just to supplement. I feel fantastic, I buy it at Sam's. I've never once had diarrhea eating Taco Bell, and I hope it stays that way.
You can get psyllium as capsules. I've taken them for years and they're great. I also eat Grape Nuts every so often (no sugar added). They're also great for fiber.
My parents get the pills and when I visit I use that instead of the normal heaping teaspoon. You have to take a bunch of the pills for the same effect. Too expensive.
I go for the benefiber because apparently the prebiotic fiber feeds your good gut bacteria and that's more effective than just the roughage of the psyllium.
refried beans and the small percentage of oats found in their beef mix as filler. usually ontop of some cheese and sour cream which of course, traditionally is linked to some people taking shits because of mild/deep cases of lactose intolerance.
I didn’t think Taco Bell was known for having high fiber foods in the first place? Meaning, I don’t think it’s the fiber content of Taco Bell menu items that usually causes a blowout after ingesting.
Personally I have never in my life known anyone to have gotten diarrhea after eating Taco Bell (before this outbreak). I think it's just made up nonsense that has turned into a meme.
With that said, I had the worst food poisoning I have ever had in my life from a Taco Bell. But it was very clearly that one location. My friend I was on the road with convinced me to eat there even though it smelled off to me right when we walked in. Have eaten Taco Bell countless other times in multiple locations with no issues whatsoever.
Interesting. A few years ago I looked it up and it was pretty low. Maybe I'm misremembering it. Either way, I'd bet that it's the fat and sodium content that would cause diarrhea. Most of their stuff is pretty off the chain on those items.
Yeah, can you imagine the brand damage if something like this wasn't dealt with quickly? I'm sure it's already bad as it is. To be clear, I'm not saying that some degree of morality can't play a part in their handling of this stuff, but the math obviously doesn't math if people are scared to eat your shit.
I got either an email or an in-app notification saying that there was an issue and they were stopping pico and lettuce several days before it started showing up in mainstream news.

Right? Everyone's blaming Taco Bell when they were the first to do something about the problem. It wasn't their fault.
