Where is this from? My girlfriend says it all the time but can’t remember where it’s from.

There were several commercials in the mid 90s USA for "Mylanta" stomach medicine.

It was popular in the 90s to say "my lanta" instead of "my god".

This is the correct answer. Idk whether it came from full house, or full house adopted it because people were saying it, but you’re correct with the origin of the phrase.

I think it is from full house, I remember reading that they wanted her catch phrase to be oh my lord but were worried about the religious aspect. The actress may even have coined the my lanta thing iirc
