It is normal. Exercise will ease them or sometimes if they are really severe the doctor may prescribe zoloft or something else to alleviate the pain.

First, this is not stomach pain. This is uterine pain. Calling things by wrong names creates confusion and misunderstanding.
Menstrual pain is common, though possibly not neccessary.
Have her iron levels checked by a doctor, or lab. If she is anemic iron supplements may ease some of the pain. If she is not anemic, do not supplement. Iron overdose can be very harmful. A healthy diet full of vitamins and appropriate nutrients can help a great deal.
Until she gets that part under control, some over the counter pain relievers may be of assistance, such as Midol, or Acetominaphen, or Naproxin Sodium. Do not use aspirin as it is an anti-coagulant and can make her menstrual flow far more than is beneficial.

Totally normal. My doc put me on naproxen to help ease the cramps...she might want to look into that. It's not something that needs to be 'curable', it's just the way nature is and being a woman sometimes. It may get better as she gets older. I never suffered from bad cramps until about 5 years ago. Also, she may want to try taking "Ultra PMS Support" sold at GNC stores. It may help keep her hormones level and help the cramps.

It might be menstural cramps,she might want to see an gynocologist just to be on the safe side.I used to have them really severe in my teens up untill I was 25.For me a heating pad worked the best,drinking alot of water and cutting back on caffine.Also walking around can ease it sometimes...I know one thing loud noise and alot of stress intensified mine.Ever since I gotten pregnant years ago,my cramps eased up but switched to bad headaches and sinus infections every month,plus the heavy flow...ugh.Believe it or not I actually miss the pain of cramps,that was more bareable...I've been drinking pomegrante tea and lately that has helped me,I think it's the extra antioxcidants.Anything hot,sipped has worked for me and alot of relaxation.

Birth control pills can help aleviate cramping if she is in a lot of pain. As well she should steer clear of any dairy products during this time. Many women find that their cramping becomes much more mild when they have a dairy free diet. This is due to many factors of which you can find the answers to in "Eating Well for Optimum Health" by Dr. Wiel.

Have her take Vitamin E 400 I.U. Just once daily should help alleviate some or almost all the pain. She should check with her Gyn about the lengths of her periods, she may need to go on the pill to regulate her cycles.

First of all, she needs a good physical check-up. There are many conditions that cause severe cramping. If all is alright, ginger tea is helpful so I am told. It does not taste very good but it is supposed to relieve the painful cramps.

There is much accumulation of fluid in the tissues at that particular time. Which allows more tension and reduced ability to withstand pain. One other consideration is hormonal and can be eased with proper balancing of those hormones.

Cramps occur when the lining of your uterus is leaving that area. It's a small contraction that can cause cramps, mild to heavy. It can also cause diarrhea. One remedy for cramps that I've heard about is bananas.

She may have polycyctic ovarian disease or in the starting phase. It sounds like my symptoms when I was that age. If she is overweight and has facial hair, it is likely. She needs her hormon levels tested. Better see a doctor.
It also could be normal.
