Hi all,

I hope everyone is okay.

I have the hiccups which started about 10 minutes ago and I am worried.

I have a colostomy, urostomy, radiation enteritis and a prolapsed pelvis and I am worried  about the hiccups causing any problems. 

Does anyone know how to stop them too, please?

With love and good vibes.

  • Yes. I’ve suffered with them all my life so I’ve tried every known method.
    You’re probably okay now but here goes for future reference 

    Drink a glass of water from wrong side of rim with head upside down so water hits roof of mouth (Best done over washable floor)

    Hold breathe. sometimes works. Not often 

    Suck a lemon. 
    This I discovered after trying all above in desperation I cut a quarter and sucked it. To my amazement it worked 

    Hope alls good with you now

  • Hi  Ann,

    Thank you for your reply and the helpful tips in regards to the hiccups and I am glad you have found a solution to help you and when you have hiccups.

    After I did the post, thankfully they stopped.

    I haven’t had them since I have had my stomas and it worries me but I guess I was being nervous.

    Thank you and sending you love and good vibes,
