What to do is you are a Jew, a kosher food eating Jew, but just inadvertently digested some pork!!! Yikes! Screaming and jumping up and down or causing yourself to vomit may temporarily take away some of the pain, but there is a sure-fire antidote for consuming this spiritually poisonous food that can turn lemons into lemonade. What can we do?
First of all--chant aloud "Hashkivenu Adonai!" which means Help Us G-d!!! Then proceed to turn the lemons into lemonade--become a more committed religious Jew than you were before this pork eating happening.
Daven the worship services for the day, the Shakarit prayers, the Mincha, and the Ma'ariv everyday. If you do not have access to a Cantor or lay-lead services, then use audios online, or simply chant the Hebrew to yourself by yourself. Use the Hebrew language chanting every moment of your day to get in touch with the Hebrew language is getting in touch with G-d, pray to Him, recite blessings for everything you do, be thankful to G-d for everything, do mitzvoth in your actions.
Confirm in your mind that you will commit to a better job in your eating to follow Jewish Dietary Laws. If you are slacking anywhere in your diet, confirm instead to follow the rules more surely. Watch everything you put in your mouth, keep milk away from meats, eat as kosher as you can. Be alert and inspect all your foods, look for the hechsher on the packaging, eat more fresh fruits and veggies.
Go out and do an act of lovingkindness toward someone in need. Give to charity or do teshuvah in some other way. Contact a strongly Jewish friend and solidify your relationship with them even more than it has been in the past.
Take deep breaths, breathe in Adonai, see Him as the color blue, and be breathing in an imaginary blue color with every breath you take. Breathe out the non-kosher foods impurities after you take in the color blue, and do it by breathing out the evil as the color red. Breathe in blue and out red. Clear your system with this steady flow of pure air, stream it into your lungs and it will eventually get to your digestive tract, clearing away all the poisons of the non-kosher foods you ate.
Be determined not to allow these non-kosher foods to decrease your commitment to G-d, but instead use them to increase your faith. Yes, Hashkivenu Adonai! It is You who can help me. Help me to stay more completely kosher in the future and may this blessing also go towards any Jewish family or/and friends.
