Today they have been worse than any other day which is why I'm looking up information to try to find a cure or cause.
I too have that annoying hiccup, following by a burp which relieves the feeling of pressure in my upper abdomen. I have changed my entire diet by eliminating chocolate, coffee, red meat, wheat and dairy. My dr. The next step will probably be an upper GI series or endoscopy if this doesn't improve within the next couple of weeks.
I have already had an H Pylori blood test to rule out an ulcer, an ultrasound and an MRI which were unremarkable. I am getting very tired of this! It's so comforting to know that there are other people out there with my problem too!
I also have uncontrollable hiccups and burps. Ratio of about for burps and hiccups. It is getting very frustrating. I have very bad acid reflux and simply by laying down flat at night the acid has gone into my voice-box and has damaged my voice. My "donkey brays" as I call them, are extremely loud, loud enough for the whole class to turn around, since I am only I've had a few outbursts of hiccups that barely allow me to speak reasonably.
And I am a singer, so it concerns me, because it can happen when I sing. I've had it for maybe a year and a half! Cheers to those who have had it for 5 years, if it were me I'd have died by then haha. The most in a day for me is 44, but I was on 20MG of Omerprazole that brought it down a bit to about 25 a day. They can be painful. I have a lot of excess gas, and my stomach is so loud that people around me turn around, and I can feel it all the way up my esophagus.
And the bad days if I don't take medication, I can feel the acid hurting my stomach. It's awful, because if I bray, it feels like it is bringing up hot steam into my throat.
I am going to the doctor tomorrow to be referred to a specialist, and am probably going to have a endoscopy. I'm getting so tired of it! Fruits with a lot of acid such as strawberries give me massive hiccups, but it happens constantly.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease. I too have this problem. After having the baby, they didn't go away. I have been doing them ever since on a regular basis.
I too, thought it was only me. To me, it feels like a burp coming- I feel the slight pressure of this pre-burp and then it seems to suddenly attack me, come out of nowhere and a burp or hiccup sort of explodes from my mouth. My husband ever so sweetly and lovingly named them "bi-gawks!
I've never really counted. I CAN stifle the sound if in public, but I have to really be aware of it and try hard. At home, they just slip out and my husband and children will repeat the sound from different rooms in the house to tease and "echo" me with humor.

Prevacid seems to help. Feel like I have the flu. Weak, lightheaded, shaky, pale, stomach is gurgly and upset, painful cramps, I feel queasy, I have a headache and I'm not talking a hang-over either My bowels will be all upset and I either have very loose stools yellow-ish in color or I have tar-ish dark almost greenish black stools or I can't go at all and won't for a few days afterwards.
If that happens, I get bloated, stomach seems to extend and I have painful cramps. I was convinced I had some kind of stomach tumor the way I bi-gawked, kind of kidding, kind of not I believe the bi-gawking is due to GERD or something gastritis involved, and suspect the lower intestines, painful cramping issue is due to IBS and my body not wanting alcohol at ALL anymore.

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I have asked several doctors what causes this and they do not know. One of the nurses has went so far as to write me up unless I get a doctors note saying that I cannot help it.
They want me to see if I have torrets syndrome or something. It is ridiculous. If anyone cane make me feel better I would sure appreciate it. I have had my gallbladder out and I thought that would stop it but it hasn't. Jana Galaviz Oklahoma. Hi, I'm a nutritionist.
