Normally an upset stomach is caused by an increase in stomach acidity, i.e. your molarity of HCl is increased
NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O
NaCl is table salt and H2O is water, Sodium is bad for you in large amounts taken over extended periods, but your body can cope with a sharp excess quite readily.
You need to consider whether this reaction is endo or exothermic? How endo/exothermic is it? Would this make it unsuitable for curing upset stomach?
