That undigested food comes up in minutes as soon as I've eaten one spoonful too much. It comes from the esophagus because low motility causes the esophagus to not move food to the stomach quickly where the digestive acids are. I have no sign that I should not take one more mouthful until the pressure starts in my chest and major belching goes on during which time the food I just ate that is stuck in the esophagus comes up. It's difficult because with these small amounts, I'm still hungry . I don't know why it happens sooner in some cases. I've kept a food journal but what might have caused trouble once was not a problem the 2nd time. I'm chopping food in the processor but it still comes up.

sounds like a two-way problem, both directions. I have a baseline that i used to eat before this thing started, I remember generally how I ate during the day, breakfast, dinner etc..Now I just force myself to eat a little less for breakfast, a little less snacking and i skip dessert and even appetizer for dinner. I also make a much smaller after dinner snack. Yeah I am also hungry, but I also can limit my activity level , at least for a few days or weeks. Agree with you that triggers are also sequence dependent which makes for an infinite amount of combinations. the same food eaten before or after another food can have different results. So I think the bottom line is bad mixing is also a thing. My Dad used to tell me this, don't mix a bunch of random stuff together. And there was a diet I recall that said to eat only fruit until noon and then no fruit after. I think its called a mono-diet when you eat mostly 1 or 2 safe foods for a while.
