If I ever get a dodgy gut then I send for some Actimel, citrus fruit, Coca-cola and drink oodles of water. Hmmmmm -your poorly tummy might be a premise for a short story exercise. Lots of good descriptive terms (really help the reader imagine the experience!) and if you get this condition often then you've got plenty of research material!!
lol @ the short story exercise. i hope it works for you, because i don't think i'd be able to read it. here's some starters... grotesquely ill, stomach churning like a washing machine, body aching like a two-toed gymnast.
i just reread my comment and realized i didn't indicate that i was mocking bad metaphors and similes and whatever. i wasn't serious! i almost never compare things to two-toed gymnasts :)

Almost....but you wouldn't rule out using this comparison completely, right?!
For some reason I now have an image of a gymnast with only 2 toes...!
