Every once in a while i will get a hiccup that is a kind of hiccup and they hurt so bad! I can feel it coming on and im like "oh no!!" and sometimes they come two to three and a time and ugh, pain; then its over. Also, i have a forever air pocket when that happens. Any advice to get rid of these "kind-of" hiccups?

It is my understanding that hiccups are a warning sign that you have eaten to fast or not chewed well. In the past when I got hiccups really bad it was a nightmare with the slime that followed. I don't hiccup much now but if I do , I stop and wait it out. I don't try to eat anything more. I have learned to pay attention to this "warning sign" lol

Actually, I welcome the hiccups!!! It usually means the food is going down and I will be more comfortable. My Dr told me belching and hiccuping will just be a part of life now!!

haha! Mine are sort of a belch/hiccup combination. They're not fun. Thankfully, they do only come in 3s.

When I hiccup, that is my stop sign. If I eat one or two more bites, I am in trouble. Unfortunately, mine are quite loud and obnoxious, really embarrassing when eating out in public.

I had my surgery 4 days ago, everything I drink, even water , causes a belch. I am trying not to drink too fast. It kinds feels good though, since I have been gassy since the surgery. Is this normal?
