Sometimes: Prolonged hiccups can mean an inflammation of the diaphragm, or something going on with the organs immediately under it--liver, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach etc... If diarrhea happens after eating fatty meals and you still have your gallbladder, i'd rule that out first! abdominal ultrasound first. Avoid fatty/fried foods until you find out!
