Maltodextrin/corn starch. There's a lot of it in their food, it's a good energy source carb-wise, but it also draws water into the bowels and causes you to colon blow when you have too much of it. Soy Lecithin actually boosts that effect ten fold. The only things safe to eat from Taco Bell are lettuce, cilantro, and onions.

These are in high quantities in their food, but the effect those things have on you varies widely from person to person. When I was a broke college student i'd buy two of their spicy chicken burritos for 2$ and never had a problem.
Some people are heavily sensitive to these things based on diet, heredity, etc...which is why people are either "taco bell is awesome," or "Taco bell is *!@#*@."
For the average person, you'll usually only get the "colon blow" effect (As an aside, i googled that for fun and look at the first link -
http://www.colonblow.com - ROFL) if you're already overeating at Taco bell, and therefore get absurd amounts of those things in one sitting
A similar effect can happen if someone eats any kind of mass-produced pastry. It's not just Taco Bell, or something Taco Bell is unique for...
