Hiccups

Hi. I was just generally wondering does anyone on here find they get hiccups a lot more than normal people? I've been noticing that I've been getting them a lot, much to the annoyance of my sister. Get them up to twice a day, 4 days a week, and they last for up to 15 minutes a time. Just wonderign if anyone else has experienced this, and if you have, did it get worse after following the gluten-free diet for a while? Thanks for any replies - I'm just intrigued...

Yep--and what triggers it for me is getting up from sitting or lying down. I don't know why, but I do seem to get them more often than normal. It does happen more often since going gluten-free. Strange :huh:

I get hiccups all the time. Usually, when I start getting a lot of hiccuping episodes close together it means that I'm going to get stomach muscle spasms. These are extraordinarily painful so hiccups worry me...

Since I still don't know what causes the spasms (I get them stressed, not stressed, acidic food or no acidic food, gluten or not) so I don't know what causes the hiccups. There seems to be no rhyme or reason. :blink:

nope, I don't get them particularly more often than other people - every few months.

I've always gotten hiccups a lot more than normal people. And when I get them I get them for a really long time and even once they go away they'll keep coming back throughout the day.

I actually thought that it was hereditary because my dad has told me that his grandfather used to have the same problem and one time they even had to bring him to the hospital because he couldn't stop hiccuping for I think it was like 2 days straight.

I hiccup maybe once every year and that is a long shot. My son however, hiccups at least once or twice a week. I am not sure if that is due to just his age? or something with gluten.

I used to get them all the time and they would be violent and hurt, but seem to be better since gluten-free. My kids' GI says they can be a sign of reflux.

I get them when I am very, very tired. I notice this with all three children, too.

I used to get them a lot, I haven't had an episode since I went gluten-free. The only thing that helped was drinking hot water to relax the spasms. I had not realized how long it had been since I had them till I saw this post! They used to be at least every other day.

Before going gluten free I very rarely got hiccups, however now I get them maybe once a week or at least every other week. The strange this is that I get them while I'm asleep and it wakes me and my boyfriend up in the middle of the night! :(

I had the same experiance as ravenwoodglass!! I used to get them ALL the time. Several times a week and several times within the same day. They stopped once I went off the gluten and I didnt have them for about 5 months.

Just the other day I got another endoscopy and I have had hiccups every day since :(:(:(. I am very upset about this because it used to be a real problem for me and now it seems to have returned. I can only hope they go away again as I am still off gluten!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana
