a hicup is when your diaphram is being irritated, maby it is the spice hat is irritating it?
and when you hicup, thats you diaohram vibrating to try and clean its-self, or something like that.

A hiccup is a short exhalation caused by the combination of your diaphragm in shock and you Epiglottis being forced to open and shut. You inhale into your lungs, but this action, whilst the epiglottis is open causes gas from the stomach to escape.
It is a normal responce to a sharp increase of gas in the stomach. Drinking water acts on stretch receptors in the stomach and allows the effective "reset" of the diaphragm sympathetic nervous system.

A hiccup is caused by a sudden involuntary contraction of the diaphragm.
Cause unknown...

i'm no longer all that confident about that yet i comprehend that pink peppers contain extra supplements than eco-friendly peppers...it really is why they are many times extra expensive...yet about chilli i might want to guess that pink has extra supplements besides yet take the suggestion of professional chilli eaters who comprehend for confident..x

hiccup-a spasmodic drawing in of a breath that is stopped by sudden closure of the glottis and is accompanied by a peculiar sound

Try to eat an antacid before spicy.

i think it's your diaphragm contracting. i don't know why you get it with spicy foods but i get them when i'm full or if i gulp something really cold while eating.

Someone needs to scare the crap out of you to get this to stop.
