Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Liz, When air gets in it causes belching. has this problem but without hiccups. They can get air from drinking with a straw. never had any belching until he started drinking from a straw. The next info I found on WebMD.From Cyndi B Belches and growls are usually due to gassy foods; hiccupping is the result of an irritation to the diaphragm which can also be made worse by gassy foods, " she says. Sadock says anxiety can magnify the problem. " Burping and hiccupping can come on when you swallow a lot of air, and that's very common when we're anxious. If you're a person who sighs a lot, then you probably swallow air when you're anxious, " says Sadock How to Handle Embarrassing Body Problems From hiccups to an overactive bladder, experts offer advice for managing your body's embarrassing problems.(continued) Embarrassing Body Problem No. 2: Burps, Hiccups, and Growls continued... What can you do about it? The No. 1 defense is to cut down on gassy foods in the hours previous to when you want to be at your best. These include cruciferous vegetables like cabbage and broccoli, beans, and for some folks, dairy products and fried foods. " Only you know which foods are gassy for you, and it can be slightly different for everyone, " Siegel tells WebMD. If your tummy growls when you're hungry, then eating light, bland meals before going out is a good defense, he says. Drinking more water also helps, Siegel says. " The GI tract is more likely to spasm when it's dry, so keeping well hydrated reduces the likelihood of hiccups, burps, and nervous coughs. " Daguilh suggests limiting alcohol: " In some folks [it] can increase burps, belches and hiccups, " she says. > > Tori gets really nasty hiccups with her reflux.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Liz before Mics fundo, he constantly got the hiccups and still does occasional.Then he started projectile vomiting everything that went down him. Then aspiration started and he got pnuemonia. His GI only did a barium swollow test and showed me the results and that he needed surgery imediately.He did no other testing.Mic still hiccups so maybe its not reflux.Thats when he stopped eating food.He seems to get hiccups if he drinks to fast.Does Tori take meds for reflux?

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Poor Tori, I hate it when Mic has hiccups.Usually if I take him out and run his around the yard or swing they stop.Heres an old remedy my grandmother used to use and always worked if you could Tori to do it, Take her ear lobes and cover her ears and have her bend her head back as far as possible drink the entire glass of water holding her ear lobes over her ears and head back. It always worked on us but trying to get Mic to do this doesnt work considering he wont drink water.Sounds silly I know but it worked. Probably would work with any fluid she might drink.
