I have worked through your query in detail.
As per your given clinical history, it is important to screen for acid reflux disease.
This can cause discomfort while taking fatty food.
Erythromycin should not be taken always as it can lead to destruction of normal microbial flora.
I advise you to get an upper GI endoscopy to evaluate the cause
