Usually stomach ache along with the loose motions suggest stomach infection, but as far as your history is concerned the symptoms narrated by you most likely suggest acidity & the stomach upset caused due to erythromycin because of altered abdominal flora.
What u will have to do is increase your water intake, in the foods containing lactic acid such as the buttermilk of curd & have one of the antacid such as rabeprazole 20 mg twice a day about 15 minutes before food & capsules containing the bacilli. This treatment surely will take care of your loose motions as well as stomach ache.
