I've not personally dealt with reflux but my Dad had big trouble with it and had the stomach wrapped around the valve thing done. Since then he cannot eat bulky things like thick mashed potatoes, peanut butter, etc. They stick in the valve and he feels like he's almost choking. It stopped the acid though. Until he got that done there were many other things he did to help stop things. He was careful to avoid greesy foods and hot spices. He avoided laying or even sitting down after eating. He found it helped if he took a short walk after eating. He ate in small frequent amounts while taking Pepcid. Avoiding putting any more pressure than necessary on that valve helped some. He still had some heartburn but it wasn't as bad. In the end he had to get help from a Dr but these things helped some.
One note - His heartburn started when he got heliobacter pylori bacteria in his stomach. It frequently starts heartburn and if it's not caught early enough it can damage the stomach valve. Get her to a Dr to check for that and to see what else needs to be done.
I hope your girlfriend can get the help she needs.
