Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. The abdominal pain could be due to gastritis or GERD. The leg pain could be due to a number of underlying causes. A proper clinical examination is needed and I would insist you to visit a doctor.
In order to relieve your wife, you need to ask her to do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of your habit).
* Take Prilosec (omeprazole) once daily before breakfast.
* Take plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase your dietary fiber intake.
* Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
* Yoga and meditation should help.
* Take juicy fruits like citrus fruits and bananas since they contain potassium which is needed for proper muscle contraction.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
