Food Causing Stomach Blockage?

I went on a 45 mile road ride yesterday but had on-board nutrition and rehydration. I felt great for the first 20 miles but then started to feel bloated and a significant drop in energy. I pushed through at a much slower pace and continued to hydrate but felt more and more bloated. When I finally reached home I was cramping all over and then vomited. Most of the vomit was the rehydration liquids and a small amount of food. My theory is that one of the items I ate while riding somehow blocked the exit from my stomach and wouldn't allow the liquids to enter my intestines where it would be properly digested.

This also happened a few years ago when dill pickle seeds seems to block my GI tract in a similar fashion.

Has this happened to others and what would you recommend for on-board foods to avoid this situation in the future?
