Try peppermint - it relaxes uterine muscles as well as GI ones. And Immodium's great for the monthly D!

Try a heating pad, some peppermint oil (to smell, not taste...I get reflux too! you can also put it on a washcloth...helps my migraines), also maybe feverfew? It is the ONLY thing that helped my migraines when they were at their worst...

Also, perhaps some gentle yoga and breathing exercises?

Oooooh, sending major, GENTLE, hugs your way...I felt your pain last week Feel better SOON
