KLINGON BIOLOGY:
(HQ 12.4:8):  The verb meaning gurgle, specifically applied to one's stomach gurgling or talking, is bor. When air (or gas) from the stomach works its way up and comes out of the mouth (often noisily), one is said to ruq belch. Maltz said it is acceptable to refer to this gas as SIp, a general word for gas of any kind, but that gas produced within the body is known as Qep'It. When, rather than gas, undigested or partially digested food comes up, one is said to 'em, vomit, and the matter being vomited, that is, vomit, is called quy'Ip.

Because Klingons have redundant stomachs they rarely get nauseous. (VOY "Macrocosm")
