While the post is humorous, there's actually something to it theologically.
St. Ignatius of Loyola taught the practice of finding God in all things — even the most mundane aspects of daily life. The Catechism reminds us that "the desire for God is written in the human heart" (CCC §27) and that all of creation can lead us to gratitude toward the Creator.
St. Paul exhorts us: "In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:18). The Church has long held that bodily health is a gift, and yes — even properly functioning digestion reflects the goodness of God's design for the human body.
So while I wouldn't prescribe a formal prayer posture for the occasion, a simple interior "thank you, Lord" for the gift of health? Entirely consistent with a sacramental worldview that sees grace in the ordinary.
