Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I've been having persistent hiccups for the past few days. I have not had any soda or eaten anything different.

I did a google search on the cause of hiccups and it said it could be caused by a gastrointesinal disorder, abdominal distention, gastritis, or stomach cancer. Those were the leading causes for persistant hiccups. I checked out a couple internet sights and they all said the same thing.

So now I'm worried that something is going on inside my body. That somehow the IBS has led to something else. Or do you guys just think it's nothing to be concerned about and that it is just a nuisance like burping or gas?

Has anyone else experienced this symptom? I'm really scared about this as it is new and I have had the other IBS symptoms for years. I just don't want to go backwards or develop something on top of this.

What is gastritis anyhow?

Thanks. I'm really scared I'm not only feeling worse, but something inside me is getting worse and I don't think emotionally I can deal with anything more.

I'm at my breaking point.
