HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different possible causes, it can be difficult to diagnose abdominal pain without a physical examination.
Pain in the umbilical region is commonly related to bowel movements. Oatmeal is a fiber and can stimulate a bowel movement for some persons.
Another possible cause would be muscular since this would be affected by breathing movements.
The relation to his meal would then be coincidental.
If it continues then he may need to be assessed.
I hope this helps
