Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Some amount of abdominal cramps are common during premenstrual phase.
Progesterone can lead to relaxation of esophageal sphincter and can lead to the regurgitation of food also.
So taking small quantity of food at more frequent interval, maintaining atleast 2 hours gap between food and sleep can help.
If needed you can go for antacids, which can also help you to some extent.
If the problem persist better to consult gynecologist once and get examined.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
