I know that you are going to hate this idea but have you thought about using a blender or an immersion blender to liquefy your food before eating? You can turn foods into either purées or smoothies or gazpacho soups (cold summer soups: I do that with leftover salads)...
Is there any way that the doc can do a dilation? Stretch the area to try to liberate some of the scar tissue?
The other idea (and this can be a double-edged sword) is laparoscopic surgery to lyse the scar tissue...it gives you pretty much instant relief (if that is your problem) but it can also encourage more scar tissue to grow back...I had it done a couple of times and it has at least released some serious scar tissue in my occlusion zone...it may grow back in the same spot or elsewhere but for now, things are quite a bit better.
Some stretching can help ease the muscles around the area too although it is not a cure it can help (think about Pilates and Yoga...but do it very gently at first until your body gets used to it...I hang my lower body upside down (not fully) but with my legs on the big Pilates ball and help my organs to ease up a bit and it gives me some relief)...
Bouncing gently also helps me...I sit on the Pilates ball and do a very slow and gentle bounce or I rock from side to side...or back to front...it helps to strengthen my abs, stretch my back and abs and it feels as if my insides are stretching too..
None of this is a cure but it may help you feel a bit better.
