My mom says that i hiccup because i haven't ate enough/i'm hungry/i let myself starve is this true or is my viet mom wrong?

Hiccups: Unfortunately she is 100% wrong. Hiccups are spasms of the diaphragm. These spasms, when eating, are an indication thatbtecstomach is too full or that one is eating so fast they are also gulping in air, expanding the stomach and irritating the diaphragm.
