Lodged food or stomach acid?

I am four months post-op. I ate something (think it was a dense bread) that sat on my stomach for 3 days. I didn't know if it was a heart attack or what because the pain was in the area right beneath my breast bone. And I was constantly belching! Plus my pouch felt like it was churning and grinding. After the third day it didn't hurt as bad but I called the nurse and was told to come in if it didn't go away within the day or got worse. She also said to take my Prilosec (which I hadn't taken for about 3 weeks). I left work, took Prilosec, drank water, and laid down and within 2 hours it quit hurting. I don't know if this is something that happens with something being lodged or if it was stomach acid going crazy! Anyone else have that happen?
