Gee, i drank plenty of that in Indonesia, too, besides cooking with 
it frequently. Still no gastric distress. Perhaps it's an individual 
sensitivity, like the pineapple/kiwi problem that came up earlier...

Only time i got sick was after drinking coffee in a Chinese 
restaurant in Den Pasar, Bali. My single bad intestinal whatever - 
and i didn't know until AFTER i boarded the bus for the VERY LONG 
ride back to Jakarta. Had me doing the butt clench for a short while. 
Fortunately, Indonesian jamu (herbal medicine) did the trick, and i 
was, uh, solidified sufficiently for a sanitary ride home. Errr, TMI? 
Sorry...
