My husband is undergoing chemotherapy right now for large Bcell lymphoma. He experiences hiccups after he eats which started right after his first treatment. He doesn't eat fast or gulp air when he eats so we ruled that out. Seems to be a common experience as we read on the internet. We found that a teaspoon of sugar really works! Once he took it the hiccups stopped immediately. Hope other cancer patients read this.

WARNING!

Please be careful with sugar, cancer loves sugar, I read it's like throwing gas on a fire.

WARNING!

According to the Revici Method sugar is anabolic. If your cancer is due to an anabolic environment (similar to acidic) in your body then sugar is not suitable. However if your body is catabolic (similar to alkaline) then sugar is fine because it acts to counteract the catabolic state.
