This morning (Saturday) NPR had a story on dyspepsia & pepper.

"Scott Simon talks with Italian physician Mauro Bartolotti of the 
University of Bologna about his letter in this week's New England Journal 
of Medicine on the use of capsaicin, or the active ingredient in red pepper 
(trans-8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide), for the treatment of dyspepsia. 
(2:40) "

The audio should be available at this site after 2 pm ET.

It would appear that capsaicin can block stomach pain as well...
