Not entirely related, but many (many) moons ago I was teaching in Korea, and had a really bad "sour stomach" problem. My boss knew a pharmacy, so I went and they mixed up this weird concoction into what can only be described as the result of a dung beetle's work. I choked it down, drank some strange elixir, and then they had me jump up and down.

I still think I was on a "stupid gaijin tricks" show, but my stomach did stop hurting.

Maybe you could try that. :)
