Yes, there probably aren't any good answers to this type of problem. I tried to "google" diets for SBO and didn't come up with much either.
Outside of diet I have found that I need to avoid clothing that has a restricted waist band. Everything around the waist need to be loose and not binding to any extent. I also avoid wide belts that bind the waist band area and any foundation garments that are binding as well. I have seen certain exercises that are recommended for people with gastroparesis and sometimes I try them as well. Here is a link to Youtube videos with exercises, etc. https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=A9FJtr7S869bHBQA5PgPxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTByMjB0aG5zBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--?p=stomach+exercises+for+gastroparesis&fr=yhs-adk-adk_sbnt&hspart=adk&hsimp=yhs-adk_sbnt
Walking after meals is always good as well. For those of us who don't want continual hospitalizations and surgeries, it is a constant project for us to deal with, isn't it?

@hopeful33250 --this is exactly the kind of information I've been looking for! I have often wondered about wearing clothes with even slight tightness in the waist, and whether that could be something that triggers an obstruction. Have you actually noticed the problem getting worse when you wear something tight? I've been losing weight so that my jeans are looser, just in case!
And the videos look really helpful too. I've heard of gastroparesis, and I gather it has something to do with food not being able to move well through the digestive system (I'll look it up to be sure)-- if so, it seems logical that things that help with that might also help with sbo's.
As I said, I will try just about anything (although the more I look at it, the more I think things like Clear Passage are kind of a scam that takes advantage of desperate people for lots of money, so that's out unless I'm proven wrong). Thank you!
P.S. I've also been scheduling walking/jogging with my dog after my main morning meal (and other times too, of course!)
