No matter what i am eating, i always get the hiccups after a few bites. i don't eat or chew fast. what could be causing this? how do i make it stop

Difficult to treat: Hiccups are common and rarely problematic. Rarely they can be incapacitating and difficult to treat. Breathing relaxation techniques may be helpful. You should see a pulmonologist or a neurologist.
