Hi, Thanks for posting your query. With the available described details, there appears to be possibility of dyspepsia. She can take proton pump inhibitors safely for 5 years without any side effects but she should go for thorough check up.

You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up. You should also go for complete blood count, blood sugar, thyroid profile, and renal function test. You should also go for endoscopy and urea breathe test for H. Pylori. If Urea breathe test is found to be positive then you have to take complete eradication therapy for H. Pylori bacteria. Take soft diet along with yogurt and banana. Avoid milk and all milk related products. Take care, Dr. Mayank Bhargava
