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.
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
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 hope that picture is some kind of toilet showroom and not a public toilet.

Normally I would assume this is 100% sarcasm/a joke. But we are talking about Japan so I am only 90% sure it is a sarcasm/a joke.
If it was real, the walls would be glass and there would be spectators.
There would be little openings under the bowls where people could stick their heads in
Its from a Japanese gameshow where you poop competitively. Sometimes they have celebrities charity episode.
While the lack of mexican food in large parts of japan is indeed tragic, the fact that you can go to any countryside izakaya (pub/restaurant) and get bottomless beers and whiskey sodas for 2 hours for like 20 bucks means that the fancy toilets are getting explosive diarrhea on a regular basis.
Mexican food never gives me the shits, is this just a meme promoted by people who never get enough fiber?
As a long-time IBS sufferer, I’m always happy to see memes about getting the shits, because it makes me feel less alone.
Since everything seems to fuck my stomach up, I eat mexican food all the time. If I’m going to spend my evening on the toilet, I may as well enjoy myself!
From personal experience, the green and red sauce causes me problems. Even Chipotle’s red and green sauce affects me, so it’s not about the cheap or expired stuff. Just my body rejecting it. Anything spicy does me in, but not all spices or hot spice.
At least it’s not all spicy things
I feel like it’s more rooted in racism than actually foods. Plenty of other cuisines have more fiber and more spices. Mexican isn’t really special in its ingredients or it’s preps.
Then why specific hate for mexican? I really can’t come with any answer than racism.
Internet is weird. Some stereotypes and racism are easily accepted and considered funny.
I’m guessing some Mexican fast food places also don’t have the greatest sanitary conditions, so are more likely to give you the poops.
No mexican food in japan??? OP, it’s like saying theres no japanese food in Mexico… Have you ever traveled lmao?
A friend lived in Tokyo, his #1 complaint was lack of Mexican food.
A quick Google search of “Mexican Restaurants in Tokyo” brought up over 30 results in Tokyo. Hell, the other day I was watching the original Iron Chef from the 90s, and they brought in a Japanese Mexican Chef as a challenger.
There’s over 30 Mexican restaurant results for my city at 1% the population of Tokyo. Sounds like it’s pretty lacking to me
Tokyo is fucking huge, dude
I might have expressed myself wrong, it’s not that there aren’t Mexican food places at all, it’s that they’re much more rare than in the west (and the US specifically), and usually not great.
Plus, 30+ restaurants in a city as gigantic as Tokyo is not much at all.
There’s over 30 mexican restaurants in my town of less than 30,000 people.
Tokyo is LITERALLY the biggest city in the entire world. 30ish restaurants is absolutely a needle in a haystack.
Even if it were hard to find a good restaurant nearby, Greater Tokyo is fucking HUGE! I would be shocked if you couldn’t find pretty much all cuisine in or around Tokyo.
Had some great Mexican food in Tokyo!
It exists but it is actually quite rare.
I was in Japan this year and didn’t see any Mexican food in the 3 major cities I visited. I’m not saying it does not exist but it’s definitely not common if it does.
That also makes sense, though. Food in Japan, even the foreign food, has a specific palette it’s targeting. Mexican food is extremely different from Japanese food.
Typically, any food that is introduced to a new culture is successful once it’s adapted to that cultures palette. Any Mexican food being successful in Japan would likely be more akin to the Mexican/Asian fusion places we have in the States than traditional Mexican food.
OP, I hate to break it to you but…
There appear to actually be Taco Bells in Japan. So let’s just say Ferrari, meet Nurburgring.

All food makes you go to the bathroom. Mexican food done nothing wrong
I can see how I insinuated that taco bell is Mexican food, but I don’t actually think taco bell is Mexican food. Far from it. But it’s been memed for like 15+ years that taco bell gives you life-altering shits.
I seriously remember seeing this in high school as early as '07, but I’m sure it was probably going around before then.
I live in the OKC metro and if you’re looking for real Mexican food here, you’re pretty spoiled for choice. I won’t suggest we have the drop on Mexican food, but you can find some really great places here without having to look hard. Taco Bell is great because the food actually tastes pretty good and there are like four within a five minute drive of my house.
definitely suggesting that taco bell is Mexican food is the worst one
OP probably mean Taco Bell will have the same effect.

If you dont think you cant get delicious greasy spicy food you dont know japan
My man’s hasn’t seen a bar squatter at midnight.
This is where the US steps in. I regularly eat about a weeks worth of carbs and cheese and then hit up my favorite Indian and Mexican joints and proceed to apologize to my Japanese toilet.
The melting pot we all needed
Shit.just.works !

This dude is crossing over to Korea.
I’ve had chicken sashimi in Japan. Who needs Mexican food?
“I’ll have the chicken”
“and how would you like that cooked?”
“aight I’m-a head out”
Chicken, medium rare.
Salmonella, angry from slight heat.
KFC in Brooklyn. Empty restaurant, staff noisy, raucous in back. Ordered chicken, looked kinda pink, tasted weird, but ignored instincts, kept eating, cuz hungry.
Next week I spent in apt puking guts up, sweats, feverish, feeling like death, huddled in a ball, head pressed against wall.
Notice as the person bows to their third opponent as it bows back.
Some of the best Mexican food I’ve had was in Okinawa.
Where I really miss Mexican food is Spain.
curry!
What’s the point of owning a Ferrari?
The point is imagining that others would look up to you*
*While in reality, literally not a single person on earth gives even the tiniest fuck about you wasting money on a useless, annoyingly noisy and wasteful fucking car. Exceptions are 5 year olds and people who never exceeded that intellectual level.
Don’t worry, Denny’s is very popular in Japan.
why does Denny’s give me the shits?
Skill issue
Grease. Lots of grease
Touge. That’s the point of a [fun car] without a track.
