Detailed Answer:
Hi and thabk you for aking!
I read carefully all your mother concerns and I can say that :
1. first of all she needs to be treated with PPI plus antacids for a long time at least 8 weeks.
So she can start now gaviscon plus Prilosec OtC.
2. She needs to be evaluated with upper endoscopy plus H.Pylori fecal test to get a more accurate opinion.
3. Her symptoms seems to be related with gastritis plus Gerd( acid refluxl).
Hope it was helpful to you.
