Taco Bell/food poisoning

[Madam E]

Last summer I got really sick from Taco Bell. It was after a road trip - we stopped for dinner on the way home. I've had food poisoning a couple times, and this time was HORRIBLE. To give details would definitely be T.M.I.

I shudder to think at the hygiene practices of these places that seem to have a tendency to make people violently ill! Needless to say I'll never go there again!

My mom's company use to make the meat for taco bell... the quality (or lack there of) that they "demand" is so low that I haven't been able to eat there for years. Ick... it also makes all of my friends sick so we never ever go. Best of luck getting over your food poisoning and good going on letting everyone know!

I stay far far away from fast food chains, Taco Bell is no exception. My stomach can't handle fine French food, Italian, Mexican, Spanish etc. It most certainly wouldn't hold fast food.

Get well soon dear! Sorry to hear about your bad experience

Here it is another day and I'm still laughing about "bubble guts". Oh man!

 

[kristakamikaze]

order your food without meat
but with like beans in its place

loads healthier
and it's never made me sick =]

I got food poisoning from Pizza Hut about 3-4 years ago.It was crazy.I was very ill for about 3 days.My mom wanted me to go to the hospital but I couldnt even keep my eyes open.I was throwing up and throwing down..lol every other hour.I remember chugging about half full sprite because I was soo thristy and then throwing it up 5 minutes later. My fever was high oohh my I hate to even think about it. Hope you feel better

I got food poisoning from a Mexican restaurant called Carlos O'Kelly's. I ordered the Lite Chicken Enchilada. Twelve hours later, I woke up in the middle of the night, aching all over. Went to the bathroom and got sick out of one end...then hours later after I got up again...it was coming out of both ends at the same time!!!! The physical act of getting up and walking made me violently ill and that's how I stayed for 5, yes 5 days!!!! I should have gone to the hospital. Gatorade worked best along with toast.

I had Taco Bell like 2 1/2 weeks ago and my stomach is still in knots

It's been blacklisted!

I don't know if it is food poisening for me... but most fast food makes me sick. I can't eat it... i can't even go inside otherwise I will be sick for the rest of the day. I think it is more the chemicals they put in their food.

^ I agree. I remember when I first started eating at the local Chili's or even Ruby Tuesdays, I always got sick. I don't know if it's the oil they use or what, but for a year, I couldn't even make it out of the restaurant before it hit me. I finally got used to it, but I try not to eat at those places except for once in a blue moon.

Hoping you're feeling better now doll.

Luckily no food poisoning stories from me, but I haven't ate at Taco Bell in like 3 years! LOL

 

[clslvr6spd]

I hope you're doing better!

I still love Taco Hell. But I only get 2 regular crunchy tacos w/ extra cheese & a side of nachos. I am super picky about my sour cream, it HAS to be ice cold. So everything else is a no-go.
My hubby has a stomach of steel!!! It's kinda gross...

 

[PolyphonicLove]

Holy shit that's horrible. I love those soft gordita crunch things, and mexican pizzas, I can't live without them. After having another allergic reaction today I figure gettin the bubbles = not being able to see. Either way I'm still pissed off and in pain! You DEF need to call the health inspectors. I heard some pretty horrible shit about a McDonalds here, and I refuse to go to that particular one...

Damn it...I'm making mum take me to taco bell now.

OMG I love Taco Time Katie! I seriously could eat that everyday! Sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience Brittney! Sometime (especially late at night) that food has been sitting out for a while and maybe that is what happened. Glad to hear that you are feeling better!

 

[NicksWifey]

Thanks everyone!!!

I ended up calling the local health inspector, LOL. I told them I was really sick and so was the other person that got food with me. Today was the first time I was able to eat food and enjoy it and actually not be on the toilet with bubble guts! They were really nice and said whenever there is a complaint, whether it's about the food or cleanliness, they always do a complaint checkup. That's good to know! Plus I love that they have all of the complaint/routine checkups results for every restaurant in our region online so I can read the results!

 

[coachkitten]

Keep us posted with what happens!

 

[PolyphonicLove]

awesome, its great to hear that they're so diligent with calls like that. and on another note, I totally regret saying I wanted taco bell yesterday. I had pizza, a garlic roll, oreo ice cream [that dude used fresh oreo cookies! none of that off brand shit, either, mm] for lunch, ramune soda, AND mickey d's for dinner. needless to say, I think karma bit me in the ass, literally ;-;

 

[CantAffordMAC]

I had 2 hard tacos and a cheese roll up from taco bell yesterday. mmmmmmmmmmm

What the hell is a cheese roll up? Whatever it is, sounds like it wouldn't agree with my guts!

YOU'RE KILLING ME!!!!!!

I know I eat a lot. I went to MacDonalds and got 20 piece chicken nuggets, fish filet, fries, and some water. Gosh I felt bad after but I don't think it was food poisioning lol
