PROBLEM: HICCUPS       

Try: SUGAR 

 

Swallowing one to two teaspoons of sugar can help stifle hiccups. 

According to Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, medical director of the Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers and author of From Fatigued to Fantastic! , the dry granules stimulate and reset the irritated nerve that is causing the spasms of the diaphragm. 

“Any coarse substance, such as salt, can work in a pinch, but sugar tastes best,” he advised.
