Does anyone get recurrent excessive hiccups? I have bad bloating and other gastro issues too when this happens, nausea, constipation etc. But the hiccups drive me to despair!

Recurrent hiccups?
Yes! In fact I think hiccups were one of my first symptoms, before I even started my periods. Now I notice the hiccups come more at certain times of the months, and coincide a lot with the bloating as you say. I worry that it means the endo is on my diaphragm? Am waiting for an operation...
Yes! That's exactly like mine, I've had them from being a kid but now they flare around my cycle and I can pretty much mark on a calendar when symptoms will start peaking! Have you found anything to help calm them down?
So glad to hear it's not just me! I always thought it was very strange. I find peppermint capsules can help, also only eating light meals. How about you?
Yes I get them as well!! Sometimes it's not like a regular hiccup, it's like a flutter in my diaphragm... actually it feels like Im carrying a baby and feeling movement inside me. It's usually right below my breasts, wierdest feeling ever. For the regular hiccups I've found sometimes a spoonful of honey or peanut butter seems to help.
Omg I've said that loads of times, my hubby has joked that I'm growing a xenomorph and a face hugger is going to fly out one day 😂 I can't believe that, I've never heard anyone else say it! I get mine just below my ribs too, right on where that first muscle line is. I also get them in the centre near my intestines and a little flutter in my womb. Oooh I like peanut butter so I'll give that a go!
I used to be plagued by hiccups until, as an adult, I eliminated foods I react to . After that, I found that certain foods will instantly give me hiccups, such as watermelon. Now that I know which foods to avoid, I rarely get them - just when I eat some type of offending food. (Hope this helps!)
Thank you sadly I get them even if I've not eaten anything, I've had an empty stomach loads of times and been woken up at 3am with them just from rolling over in my sleep!
