Ive been diagnosed for few years with ulcerative. Not really in complete remission. Ive noticed that i hiccup a lot the past few months. Like 3 or 4 hiccups 2 times a day. Yesterday it happened 4 times always lasting a short amount of time. Anyone have any ideas? Should I get it checked?

I've never heard this with UC, so no, not UC-related. Possible you could have acid reflux, or something else going on. Crohn's can involve the esophagus, and maybe that would have an affect (not positive on that one)?

Is it during when you are eating?

I started a bad flare last summer and also experienced an increase in hiccups.... Not sure what the cause is, but I feel it's related to my UC. My UC is currently a lot better, but still active. I still have a hiccup or two a day (mostly after finishing a meal or a visit to the restroom).

I know this may sound strange, but a nurse told me that excessive hiccuping could be a sign of cardiac problems. It has to do with the heart not pumping enough oxygen. If it continues, please see your family doctor.
