Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!

I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows:

1. Your symptoms like burping and acidity are related with GERD, acid reflux disease.

2. With regards to motions 4-5 times per day especially after oily foods, it may be related with :

-lipids malabsorbtion
- uncontrolled diabetes

3. This is why to my opinion you need to do :

- upper ednoscopy
- blood work
- HbA1c ( to check sugar level for last three months)
- abdominal ultrasound
- fecal culture test

4. Meantime you can use:
- gaviscon three times per day
- prilosec OTC
Avoid coffee,spicy food.
Use two pillows when you lay down.

Hope it was useful.
Don't hesitate to contact me for any other question.
