Brief Answer:
Clopitab has better tolerability.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Ecospirin frequently causes severe gastritis as it causes stomach mucosal ulcers.
Clopitab is a better option and has better tolerability.
In such case i would recommend a combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone daily empty stomach on regular basis.
For Acute relief she can take On The Counter available Syrups like Digene.
Stick to soft and bland diet.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
