cool, what about the korean version, does anyone know the name for it? or anything that does a similar job.

I just had a conversation about this the other day with my students. The Korean version is called 활면수 (Hwal Myeon Su), or something like that, and can be gotten in any pharmacy. I haven't tried it yet, but it does induce gas.
