Hello sir and welcome.

Abdominal cramps are normally associated with periods, but if it is extreme and pills dont seem to be helping, then you may have to take her to her doctor and get her evaluated. If there is another cause for the pain, it will have to be treated.

The diarrhea is also commonly associated with periods, but if this is cauing her discomfort you can speak to her doctor about this as well and he/she shall surely help.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
