Cramps, gas and diarrhea sound exactly like lactose intolerance.  If so,
simple over-the-counter "Lactaid" pills should counteract it.  If a good
dose of Lactaid, taken with the milk, doesn't help, you have strong grounds
for suspecting that you don't have lactose intolerance.
 
Having problems with calcium supplements sounds like a completely different
problem altogether.  What exactly is in these supplements?  Have you tried
Tums?
 
 Hope this helps,
