I never saw them.

What I do for hiccups that works every time is to pour about 8 to 10 oz.
of room temp water and sip it quickly down in small sips while holding
my breath.

That's my method! Knock on wood I rarely get the hiccups, they
are so annoying. And I know once I get them, I'll keep getting
them for the next few days.

That should be the worst of my troubles, right?

Right now I'm more concerned with when I'm going to make your
tomato pie. I did clean out my pantry cabinet and found some
canned chiles and thought It's been a long time since I made some
tortilla soup.

Even though I'm in the air conditioning, hot soup doesn't appeal in
the summertime.

The pie is well worth it...but please ensure well drained tomato slices. I can't state this strongly
enough. Or there will be weepage/ excessive moisture in the filling. Is weepage a word?

It's either that or weepamundo, I forget. I will make sure to drain
the tomatoes.

When I use the water method, I drink the whole thing
in one continuous gulp. And I can feel a change
if it is successful. If it were possible for your
throat to become dizzy for a moment, that's the best
description I can give of this feeling.

However, for more persistent hiccups, the best
solution I've found is breathing in and out of
a plastic bag, to the point where you think you
just can't do another breath that way. In which
case, I save the last inflation of the bag and
breathe normally long enough to recover. If the
hiccups are not gone, I resume using the gas
from the last inflation of the bag.

I've read that hospitals use carbon dioxide gas
as a treatment for difficult cases of hiccups.
That's essentially what this does.

Sounds interesting...

To date, the water method has not failed me but I'll keep the bag thing
in mind if it ever does.

Fortunately, I don't suffer from hiccups that often!

I've never seen or heard of that being used. We usually use Thorazine.

Low-dose chlorpromazine is effective against hiccups,
but if I'm not mistaken, baclophen is considered the
current best practice, with regard to pharmacotherapy.

Baclofen. And it isn't so commonly used either. But it makes some sense.

I should have mentioned that if you try this,
you should make sure you will be safe if you
lose consciousness. It's never happened to me,
but if you black out, you don't want to a) fall
and hit something, or b) blackout with the bag
over your face obstructing breathing.

With regard to a), don't do it sitting in a chair.
Do it on the floor or sitting in the middle of
a bed.

With regard to b), it's an unlikely hazard and
you'll have a short period of time as the black
out begins to snatch the bag away from your face.
Knowing of the hazard will prepare you for the
proper response at the onset of blackout.

If you use a paper bag instead of a plastic bag, that should reduce the
risk of suffocation.

I'll stick to the water method as long as it continues to work. <g>

if i had to guess, i'd say it's to concentrate on doing something, like the
method of drinking out of the opposite side of a glass. (what this would
have to do with a semi-autonomic response, i have no idea.)

i thought most bartenders favored a drop of bitters on a sugar cube? i
have used the eating spoonful of sugar method before.

Fortunately, I don't often get hiccups (or are they hiccoughs? :-) but
the wrong side of a glass method seems to work for me. Breathing into
and out of a paper bag may also work but I thing a lot of anti-hiccup
measures work because they give you something else to think about :-)

Thanks for the giggle. :-)


The home remedy that is almost 100% effective for hiccups is sugar. Eat
a spoonful of sugar and the hiccups will stop immediately. For babies,
you can dissolve sugar in a little water, administer via baby bottle and
their hiccups will stop. This truly works.

I am willing to learn from any source. Learning is good.

What about sugar stops the hiccups?

I'm just curious, not being facetious.

A bartender gave me a shot of lemon juice long ago as a cure. That's
always worked for me since.

It's really not that bad. Takes a quart of lemon juice though so the hypo
is rather large and the injection takes a while.

While the breathing into a bag has worked for me, the most fun cure is
to gulp air in copious amounts until you produce a mammoth belch. -

A variant sometimes succeeds. You take a teaspoonful of sugar and chew
on it until it is all gone. It really did work once!

perhaps Shot as in gun not as in needle?

Forgive me Nanners for I have sinned...I added some mushrooms and 1/2 a red bell pepper to a
batch of your soup. I was thinking of adding some sliced almonds but thought that would be
pushing it. ANother 20-30 ,imutes or so and I can aff the sour cream and start thinking about
freezing it. Yeah I know the cream doesn't like to be Frozen but it is purely a visual handicap and it
only looks a little grainy which I could careless about. Sunny spain is the cats PJ's as the lemon
pepper in the soup BTW.

WHAT, you defiled the recipe? The chicken tortilla soup recipe that

Personally, I have frozen the soup without the sour cream, and
added it when I reheated it. Thanks for the heads up about the
Sunny Spain.
