cacogastric (comparative more cacogastric, superlative most cacogastric)

   • 1833, Thomas Carlyle, “Diderot”, in Foreign Quarterly Review:

     Diderot writes to his fair one, that his clothes will hardly button, that he is thus "stuffed," and thus; and so indigestion, succeeds indigestion. Such Narratives fill the heart of sensibility with amazement; nor to the woes that chequer this imperfect, caco-gastric state of existence, is the tear wanting.
