Does ginger have any correlation with hiccups?

[ClariceOwen23]

I get hiccups whenever I drink ginger tea, even though I drink slowly and take really small sips. It doesn't happen when I drink any other kind of tea.

It doesn't happen when I drink ginger ale or ginger beer though.

I don't think ginger normally leads to hiccups but maybe it causes some type of allergic reaction that gives you hiccups

[Toad-1]

Well i drink ginger ale all the time and i never got the hiccups *shrugs* 😬

[ClariceOwen23]

Now that I think about it, ginger ale doesn't give me hiccups either. Now I'm confused lol

Lol really? Maybe it's a psychological thing? I've never heard of something like that to be honest.

[ClariceOwen23]

I guess that's a possiblity

[peachblossomluck]

I thought redheads were being scapegoated for yet another one of life's miseries lol;)

[peachblossomluck]

I'm the RedheadDupstepChild;) The struggle is real!

[peachblossomluck]

Ginger Ale is good to calm the stomach. It's not made from real Gingers so it's cruelty free and no cannibalism is ever taking place.

[ClariceOwen23]

Lol just to let you know, this was actually supposed to be a serious question.

[peachblossomluck]

I don't have any experience with ginger tea. I know that the root is medicinal to calm the stomach or is reputed to be anyway.

Thank you for Most Helpful♡

Maybe you're taking air in too when you take tiny sips?

[ClariceOwen23]

That's possible but I don't think so

[Raymond_Reddington]

it might. maybe you're allergic to gingers? (sorry, i couldn't resist :P)

[takumii]

I had a ginger friend who constantly kept getting hiccups
I think there is correlation.

[FunkyMonkee]

I've been putting ginger in my tea every morning for the past year or better and, so far, it's NEVER given me hiccups!!

[fenixx0083]

Have you tried the blood of the innocent?

[ClariceOwen23]

Yeah. It's gotten old now though. I need something fresh

[fenixx0083]

The blood of the unborn is pretty fresh...

[ClariceOwen23]

That might be what I need. Along with fried hands

[fenixx0083]

Or possibly a scone?

[ClariceOwen23]

That works too. I'll have to experiment

[Supercal333]

I get this too! Really annoying. Only with ginger tea. I hiccup after every sip. It doesn't continue after I've drunk it all.

[legalboxers]

how strong is it? maybe if you dilute it

[ClariceOwen23]

I like it to be really strong

[legalboxers]

maybe its too strong..

[Bri12]

Lol same. I thought there was something wrong with me since I'm the only one who gets them among my friends and it still baffles me.

[9mfeo]

I don't think so. Maybe it's a weird you thing?

[Minxxie]

Possibly! But ginger also helps with heartburn!

[Larah207]

I do get hiccups whenever I chew on ginger with honey for soothing my throat.

[Larah207]

I feel it may be because I body is suddenly taking that taste of ginger which is sharp end spicy.

[Muwanguzi]

It happens to me too when I put much ginger every sip i take i get hicup
