What is guaranteed to give you hiccups?

For me it is anything quite spicy, but only if the spice comes from chilli. Red, green, jalapeno, chilli oil - just warm or quite spicy.

I don't get the same from Indian spices weirdly, even if quite warm.

I LOVE chilli and it annoys me so much that I get this reaction.

If I eat too much bread too fast it gives me hiccups.

Peppermint and Baileys make me sneeze.

Same, but only white bread, wholemeal doesn't seem to do it.

Fizzy drinks as soon as you open the can. Have to let the bubbles settle.

Bread and pastry ! Tomatoes give me a sticking feeling in my oesophagus.

No particular food, but eating too fast in general Blush and, weirdly, often coughing often sets me off!

Same! I'm glad I'm not the only one. Soft , hot boiled eggs? No problem

Nannylp · 02/09/2023 22:37

Bread for me too, not sandwiches, not toast but if I had a plain piece of nice crusty bread it would be instant hiccups. Very reassuring that it's not just me!

Whereland · 02/09/2023 22:42

No food but coughing and laughing and being drunk 😂
