Well need to ask her symptoms in detail and whether she is a candidate for endoscopy or not.

Ideally all acid lower drugs not recommended for a long period. The duration of these drugs depends upon cause of symptoms. Please send me your reports to decide. But definite long term use has tendency to cause b12 defeciency.
