Are there any foods one could eat that help alleviate hiccups?
I'm both hungry and also have hiccups. Anyone have any ideas?

You gotta drink water from the far side of the glass.

My go-to for hiccups is to empty then fill my lungs past where they're comfortable and hold as long as possible. It's not comfortable, but has been the best remedy. Peanut butter sounds like it would be good since it's slow to swallow
-
It's my suspicion that all other remedies are really just ways to get you to hold your breath.

I have had luck with spoonfuls of peanut butter. At least it works for me.
-
Came to post this. Peanut butter works like a charm
-
Ya, thirdsies
-
-
Huh, this is the only one I've never heard of so far. Guess I'll give it a go next time 🤷♂️
-
Same. No idea why it works, but it always does for me.
-
-
Gaslight yourself into believing hiccups aren't real. Sounds crazy but it works. Just tell yourself they aren't real and really believe it
-
Sit up straight. Breath in as much as you can. Then a little bit more. Hold as long as you can. Let it out slowly.
Works every time for me.
-
This is the way.
-
-
Boo!
-
Vinegar has always helped me. Malt vinegar, or Apple cider vinegar.
Trader Joes has a really yummy lemon ginger acv drink that's one of my go to's
-
One spoon of pickle juice. Do not eat a pickle.
-
Don't have pickles at home right now, but reading the other comments suggesting a spoonful or so of vinegar might help, we do have vinegar at least.

It isn't food, but you can always try this. There is even formal research. You're welcome.
-
LOL, I've heard of that before.
I'll pass though, I took some Alka Seltzer earlier and so far so good. 👍🤞

My hiccup remedy is to take a moderately deep breath, then say, out loud, “Now” right before you hiccup again.
Usually, the control and attention keep it from happening again. I’ve had many people do this and just go, “oh, I guess they went away…” 👀
-
A swallow of lemon juice will fix you right up.
-
Water always works for me
-
I don't know about foods, but do you know how to play a wind instrument? Playing trumpet for 30 seconds has been a 100% cure for me. Then you can get on with the eating.
-
The only wind instrument I play is the farthole 💩
But I did just pluck a wild onion and ate that, and it seems to have alleviated the hiccups, for now anyways...

Rollaids

Sadly I don't have any right now, but I've already tried Pepto Bismol and also gas relief pills, like the closest things we have around right now. No dice, still hiccups.. ☹️
Honestly I feel like if I could just have one good long fart that the hiccups might pass LOL!

- Get water
- Sip the water slowly and constantly
- Always be swallowing
- Don’t stop
- Keep Sipping
- It should start to feel weird how long you’ve been sipping this water
- Keep sipping
- Enjoy not having hiccups
It took me years to work out when people say drink water, they don’t mean, just take a mouthful and swallow. You actually need to slowly sip the water.

How to kill hiccups in three easy steps - guaranteed to work every single time:
- Fill a pint (or any big glass) with water
- Exhale all air out
- Finish that pint in a single continuous gulp without pausing
-
hiccaway straw works great
-
I looked into this for my son, who gets really bad hiccups. We have lots of regular straws, so before I bought a special one, I had him try a regular straw that was pointing straight down at the bottom of the cup so that it was letting in as little water as possible. Totally works (most of the time).
-
-
Fill your lungs and then do multiple(7ish) dry swallows in a row. It works extremely well.
-
Get a glass of water and a bunch of straws, drink through as many straws as you can.
-
Every time I have hiccups I stop it immediately by changing the rhythm of my breathing and making sure I breath using my diaphragm.
-
Hold your breath until you pass out
-
-
Already tried that twice tonight, no dice ☹️
-
-
What works for me is looking into a light and continuously swallowing my saliva as often as possible
-
Ten swallows of water without taking a breath, as fast as you can.
