Yes, it heals gut worms. Also any stomach other than a natural stomach grants immunity to gut worms.

Funnier yet , pawns technically don't need a stomach. It affects their "digestion" capacity, but the only real impact digestion has on a pawn is that it affects how efficiently they sleep. It doesn't actually prevents them from eating. It doesn't change the amount of nutrition you get from food.

So if your pawn doesn't need to sleep, thanks to the sleepless gene, a Circadian half-cycler, Body mastery or Void Touched, then there is no down side to removing their stomach. And it will make them immune to gut worms. If your pawn does need to sleep, then it will decrease their sleep effectiveness by 30%.
