The real tragedy is countries with Mexican food not having Japanese toilets.
I never understood the claims about Mexican food causing explosive shits but I do understand why those with weak stomachs keep trying to eat it anyway.
I hear tell that the claims are from people with low fiber diets, who suddenly have to deal with fiberful foods.
(I heard it on the Internet, and so now I repeat it on the Internet and let others handle the fact checking!)
Beans will do that
Beans will fact check?
I take lactase enzyme tablets and alpha galactosidase enzyme tablets (Beano) to break down the complex sugars in dairy and beans and it normally prevents any problems. A nutritionist told me once that most beans have some complex sugars that humans can’t normally digest, and when those ferment in the digestive tract it can cause problems, but the alpha galactosidase takes care of it.
Yeah Mexican food doesn't give me shits (mexican ancestry might help) but having a Japanese bidet is nice.
Shit people can get one for less than $100 dollars. I've been trying to get my fellow Americans on the same page. I once had a coworker call a foreign coworker nasty cuz he used a portable bidet at work. People here are insane. I can hardly get myself to take a work poop because there are no bidets at work.
Southern American here: bidets are the bees knees.
What’s this about portable bidets? Any reputable brands to look into?
Insolife is good. The cheaper ones on amazon are useless. I think modding a water flosser probably has potential as a budget option, some people freak out at the idea because it sounds super intense but if you every spray one on your wrist they aren't nearly as strong as it feels on your gums.
Spicy food is worth the pain and suffering that it causes for sure! My bowels absolutely hate hot sauce no matter what I do! The cheaper the spice (think dehydrated red peppers), the worst the experience. That being said, I still put globs of my favorite habanero sauce on my food twice a week at minimum then dealing with the consequences the next morning! Buying a bidet really enabled me to shrug off my horrible dietary decisions even more than I already did, it's an absolute lifesaver!
Sounds like you don't eat it spicy enough
