If she really needs the bone medication (and many people actually don't, but that's another story) there are versions which are taken through an injection, ibandronate and zoledronic acid. Avoid Prolia (denosumab).

I guess the issue for some is because it's an injection if you have a bad reaction to the medication (side effects) they take longer to wear off. But injections do avoid the stomach problems.
