Was thinking the same thing... it all gets depleted of nutrients and then pooped out. Some of it just runs through a little quicker. Mexican food doesn't seem to bother me.
I have an iron gut, though... even when I was in the Philippines I got used to the water in a day or two. Every time we'd leave port and I'd be drinking pure, clean water on the ship for a few weeks... we'd get back and I'd just go back to drinking the local water and for the first day or two it affected me, then I got used to it again.
