Brief Answer:
Let her take omeprazole!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Acidity is best amanged with drugs. She should take omeprazole 20mg daily to suppress this. If it becomes too severe, then ask the doctor's to evaluate her for possible Zollinger-Ellison syndrome which is a disease condition in which excess acid is being secreted and cannot be easily controlled with drugs.

Let me know how this goes. I wish you well. I wish your wife a quick recovery.
Keep me posted about her evolution.
