A heating pad, alternating between your lower abdomen and your lower back...and calcium pills. For some reason, cramps are worsened by a low amount of calcium in a woman's system.

Take brown rice - the natural kind - and boil it in plenty of water. Throw the rice away and drink the rice water. It works every time that I know of for stomach cramps.

Haven't tried it but an expert in women's issues told me she uses vitamin B12 lozenges. I bought them for my daughter but she refused to use them because they have an aftertaste.
