Helping a friend

My friend has had a full hysterectomy and is now going through chemo and radiation.  The radiation is making her stomach cramp unbearably.  She has discovered that drinking Aloe helps a bit.  Does anyone know of other tricks besides keeping to a diet of meat and potatoes?

I'm not a doctor, but I read a webpage written by an RN who recommends adding Glutamine to the diet.  It's the protein which the body manufactures in the intestine to aid digestion. Please research it.  The nutritionist at the hospital recommended it, too.   I still swear by it.  (I, too, had radiation.  Ugh.  She'll be a little sick for a while, but it passes quickly.)
