Brief Answer:
Baclofen may help.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Going by the description provided it seems that your daughter has gastric problems precipitated by stress. There seems to be a component resembling irritable bowel syndrome. The lactose intolerance is also contributory. It would be advisable to avoid milk and milk products altogether. Taking Liofen (baclofen) [prescription medicine] can provide relief from both the muscle cramps as well as belching. Ask her to take very small gulps (quantity as small as possible) of water continuously from a glass. It will help in regularizing the gastrointestinal movements that have been disturbed.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
