Suggest Medication For Stomach Cramps And Constipation

My wife took out three year old daughter to her pediatrician two days ago and the doctor said that she was constipated and that she is probably backed up from a period of time of feeding her too much bread and dairy products. The pediatrician said to keep her on a stool softener every day for two weeks and give her less dairy and more fruit. We are doing that but in the mean time she is having a lot of crampy gassy tummy. Are there any remedies for this pain?
