Now it seems solids are making me a bit nauseous and I hiccup for 30 minutes after eating... i can eat soft foods ( ie yogurt, sf pudding etc) but solids are really bugging me

I have the same problem, and the past couple of weeks more things are not staying down. It usually happens to me, however, when I eat too fast or try something new. I got too adventurous on food choices and have scaled things back to good effect. I have also tried slowing down and it helps somewhat.

That may be your new "I'm full" cue ( I burp really loud). Try to stop eating as soon as that feeling starts. Also since you are moving back to solids try eating a little slower to allow your tummy to adjust.

I only get the hiccups if I eat too fast or too much. Are you taking enough time between bites?
