Hiccups are perfectly normal occurrence which can be caused by a number of factors, which include "A full stomach, eating very fast which results in the trapping of air in the food bolus, eating spicy or very hot food etc". A full stomach can be caused by: Eating too much food too quickly, drinking too much alcohol, swallowing too much air, smoking, a sudden change in stomach temperature, such as drinking a hot beverage and then a cold beverage, emotional stress or excitement etc. Hiccups occurs when a spasm contracts the diaphragm, a large sheet of muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. This spasm causes an intake of breath that is suddenly stopped by the closure of the vocal cords (glottis).This results in the classic sound, so characteristic of Hiccups. A non stop incidence of Hiccups could be caused by a serious ailment like stomach cancer or ulcers.

research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
