I'm not sure what your valium dosage is but she should control that with all the meds. Does your GI think taking all these OTC stomach meds in such quantity daily is OK?

My impression was that OTC meds are there to help us occasionally but not on a daily basis unless a doctor prescribes them that way.
I have my entire med box for the week. My mom has the bottles and fills up the box each Saturday evening. So I'll have to take 2 less valium sometime next week so I don't get into trouble.

My primary doctor asked my mom whos a patient of his too how I was doing and she said I wanted to know what will happen if you take too many antacids. And my doctor just halfway laughed...

I did just refill my zofran. That works better then tums
