What's with those weird hiccups?

Sometimes just after I've eaten a rather filling meal, I uncontrollably do a long hiccup, so instead of 'hic' it's like 'hiiiiic'. It feels like a belch is going to come out with it but it doesn't. Then after a couple more loud hiccups I do belch.

Anyone else get this? It can be embarrassing at times.

  1. My husband gets this all the time, especially after eating a lot. He doesn't have digestive issues but he does eat very (very!) fast, so I've always assumed it was because of that...

    1. I don't eat as fast as that, it's just when I'm full up and get a gassy sort of feeling in my stomach. Usually after a burp the feeling subsides but the hiccups can be unpleasant.

      1. I can imagine 🙁 It's good that the gassy feeling subsides at least, that sounds very uncomfortable. Do you also get the hiccups when you eat smaller portions? Karina (team member)
