Hiccups (aka hicoughs) are also another thing that some people experience after swallowing air, drinking carbonated beverages, or eating too fast (gulping food), none of which are good for IBSers though are not caused by the IBS condition itself... though certainly can irritate it as what we input through our mouths have a long distance to travel before it exits out the other end.
As I understand it at this point in time 'tics' are caused by nevousness that tends to focus on a specific nerve (differing from person to person), and frequently exacerbated by excess stress. I've had friends through the years who have facial tics that come and go, such as eye twitching which they cannot control.
These of course have nothing to do with IBS, nor are they causes of IBS. It's a central nervous system reaction that is not known to be gut related. However, having such can be both embarassing and stressful at times in certain social situation, which in and of itself can upset the IBS gut.
Much of this is seemingly a merry-go-round and a mistery to many of us.
