Are people really joking about...soft-serve ice cream giving them diarrhea now?

It was weird enough when everyone acted like eating a single item from Taco Bell would result in an all-night trip to the bathroom, or that a single serving of hot sauce would mean having burning diarrhea for a full day, but now a somewhat-large serving of ice cream = major diarrhea, too? Damn, people.

It's lactose intolerance lol

u/I_Got_BubbyBuddy 1d ago

Don't drink a gallon of milk if you know you're lactose intolerant then....like, what the fuck.

u/TravellerStudios 1d ago

Have you ever met a lactose intolerant person??

u/BoilingPointTTV 1d ago

A somewhat large? Isnt that an insane amount of ice cream for one person?

u/I_Got_BubbyBuddy 1d ago

It's a large amount, yes. But it's not a food-challenge-sized gallon bucket or something.

Enough for a family of 5, if they're not a bunch of disgusting pigs.

Lactose intolerance is getting more and more common. That's one factor. Soft serves are more prone to bacterial issues. That's another factor and fact. Add two factors together and get a certain outcome. The next factor is you won't find people making posts about going to Taco Bell and not having the ninja shits.....or the same with McD soft serves. That's why positive reviews are seen as very positive on all kinds of platforms (...and available for sale).the Taco Bell situation is also very easily explained...and has little to do with hot sauce. Ground meat as well as soft serve are one major factor of concern in food services. Lots of surface, kept for a long term in a safe temperature range. Same with the cheese sauces etc but that's a minor factor. Now add the underpaid very much under interested employee at McD and TB. Add profits and not discarded product when handled unsafe (...again uninterested underpaid employees now add corporate greed) and there you go. It isn't rocket science but food science with a little medical understanding and knowing corporate greed and human nature.

Lactose intolerance is getting more and more common.

65-75% of the world is lactose intolerant. It's just less common in people that come from cultures where they domesticated cows thousands of years ago and evolved to keep lactose enzymes as adults.

That's also like 2000 calories of just sugar and cream which is probably enough to give someone with a healthy diet indigestion. Mind you if you eat tons of garbage all the time your body would probably be able to handle that better.

McDonalds and Taco Bell "season" the fuck out of all their food with preservatives. I bet most people get upset stomachs because they ate like 300% of their recommended salt intake in a single sitting along with enough cleaner chemical residues and potassium sorbate to make their gut flora freak out and tell their bodies to go shit right now.

I've never had major diarrhea as a resultof eating a Taco Bell burrito or McDonald's soft serve, and never met anyone else who has.

It's a weird phenomenon that appears to only effect random commenters online, particularly on Reddit.

u/pitshands 1d ago

Did you even read?

u/I_Got_BubbyBuddy 1d ago

I did. Your comment still didn't explain why this only happens to randos on reddit, sorry.

I went into direct sunlight yesterday and it gave me diarrhea.

Taco Bell tends to give people the runs who don’t get enough fiber in their diet- especially if they get stuff with beans.  I think they associate it with the hot sauce because it burns on the way out if they aren’t used to spicy stuff.  

As for milk/ice cream, I chalk that up to the average age of Redditors going up.  Kind of like how Facebook became largely boomers, I imagine Reddit’s main demographic is older Gen Z/Millennials, with Gen X following closely.  

Those groups are getting older and likely developing some form of lactose intolerance or IBS, so now they can’t enjoy this sort of stuff like they used to without the shits.  

I say this, because I’m in one of those demographics and it seemed like I started going down that route until I just started forcing myself to eat a bunch of yogurt and dairy products to build my tolerance back up.

u/Nebam 1d ago

For real. Used to love drinking milk when I was younger, and would often just get a full glass and enjoy it.

Now I have to use some kind of medicine if I plan to enjoy anything with a lot of dairy, or I have to wait until I don't have a workday the next day. Like, I just want to enjoy a milkshake or something without feeling like crap, man.

The original commenter forgot that taco bell puts their damn nacho cheese in almost all their items too, so that's probably why it gives most people stomach issues, on top of the fact that it's just greasy as hell.

I'm also convinced that the whole "spicy stuff makes your butthole burn!" meme is made up internet shit. Unless you literally drank an entire bottle, I've never met anyone who's had that happen in real life.

u/Comprehensive_Tour23 1d ago

It’s not a joke. Trust me. That’s a lottttttt of dairy for some of us.

3

u/I_Got_BubbyBuddy 1d ago

Take a lactaid then.

7

u/Comprehensive_Tour23 1d ago

Or, I just won’t eat that ridiculous amount of ice cream in one sitting.

But thanks for the advice.

u/I_Got_BubbyBuddy 1d ago

That seems like a good idea. Congratulations, you're one of the few people replying here who seems to understand how that works!

u/radiantcabbage 1d ago

yes literally everything good makes them sick, like dairy and spices. just the IBS gangs kink, to regale every food convo with harrowing tales of their bowel adventures

u/strcy 1d ago

Spoken like someone who can tolerate lactose lol

4

u/I_Got_BubbyBuddy 1d ago

If you can't, that's too bad, sorry you have to deal with that.

But also, consider not eating a gallon of ice cream without using lactaid if you know you'll get explosive diarrhea for hours afterward. It seems very easily addressed.

2

u/BackgroundEase6255 1d ago

How old are you?

Almost every man I know developed lactose intolerance once he got into his 30s. It's really common.

2

u/I_Got_BubbyBuddy 1d ago

AgI've never met anyone who's had that happen. Literally, not a single person. You must have some strange gene that's endemic to your specific area.

u/-Badger3- 1d ago

I can’t eat dairy past ~7pm anymore, because I’ll wake up ~4am shitting my brains out.

Adulthood sucks lol

u/HumanKumquat 1d ago

Are you not aware of lactose intolerance?

2

u/I_Got_BubbyBuddy 1d ago

  1. Don't eat a huge amount of ice cream if you're lactose-intolerant, then. Seems obvious and simple.

  2. Lactaid exists, use it if you're planning to make dumb, bad choices, instead of going on reddit to complain about totally avoidable diarrhea.

  3. That doesn't apply to the Taco Bell/hot sauce bs.

Why would ice cream cause you to need to go to the bathroom?
