Hiccup remedy.

[Leah123]

If you have the hiccups, and want to get rid of them, than take a spoonful of sugar and swallow it down. This will instantly get rid of the hiccups!

I eat a spoonfull of peanut butter!

I bend over the sink and drink water out of the wrong side of the cup...makes a mess...but it works every time for me! (and my kids, and my grandkids, and my dh...)

But what sounds better is to sprinkle the sugar on the peanut butter... oh heck...why not a peanut butter cookie?

I like that idea! Drinking upside down works sometimes for me, but peanut butter always works. I think it's the way you have to swallow a big glob of it, lol. My stepdad can tell himself "I am not going to have the hiccups right now" and they go away. Not fair, dude.

I've never tried peanut butter for hiccups - but it's not something I always have in the house.... Wish I had your stepdad's talent!

I have a 4 year old. There is always (all natural) peanut butter in the house!

Peanut butter always works for the Wildbunch.

Nothing works for me. I might try ice on my face next time, something about the vagus nerve, I don't remember exactly.

I hold my breath for about 10-15 seconds, breathe out and in twice, hold it again.. It sometimes takes a few goes, but it usually works.
