Sugar is supposed to help stop them most of the time.

I find hiccups come for me when I have "gas" issues. I have a hiatal hernia that comes up thru the diaphram, so pressure sometimes gives me hiccups.

Chronic or recurring hiccups should be evaluated by a doctor, because some liver problems irritate the diaphram. I suppose MS is in that category too with the innervation of the diaphram too.
