Eat slower to prevent recurring hiccups. Eat smaller meals. Stop drinking fizzy or carbonated drinks. Avoid chewing gum so you don't swallow gas. Cut out alcohol
For some reason, not chewing your food well enough can lead to hiccups. The theory behind it is that air gets trapped between pieces of the food, gets swallowed, and results in hiccups. Eating slowly means you'll chew more, eliminating this risk. Set your fork down between bites to help yourself slow down. Count the number of times you chew so you eat slowly. For instance, you might chew 20 times. Big meals may trigger hiccups, especially in children. Control your portion sizes to help prevent hiccups. Additionally, space out your meals so you don't get too full. For instance, you might eat 3-5 small meals every 2-3 hours. The gas in these types of drinks can cause hiccuping, especially if you drink them quickly. If hiccups are a common problem for you, cutting out fizzy and carbonated drinks may help. If a drink has bubbles in it, don't drink it. When you chew gum, it's normal to swallow a little gas with each chew. Unfortunately, this can trigger hiccups in some people. If you have hiccups often, it's best to skip the gum. Use mints or suck on hard candies instead. and spicy foods. Both alcohol and spicy foods can be a hiccup trigger, so it might be worth it to avoid them. This might help you stop your chronic hiccups. You might keep a food diary to figure out if you typically have hiccups after you have alcohol or spicy foods. If you don't, then you might not worry about this advice.
