Oh yes, that's low magnesium and calcium. Try taking supplements but always with VIT C. If your gluten intolerant, it's just your not absorpting what your eating. Simple blood lab with give you the answer.

Hey Sweetie, it could be your potassium is low. Try eating banana's and drinking orange juice, they both help to raise your potassium and stop the cramping. I wish you well. Be well,Be blessed

My Dr put me on a prenatal vitamin even though I'm not pregnant because it gives my body everything it needs in one vitamin instead of several.

I have this problem, my rheumatologist suggested sleeping with socks on, It did help. She also told me to eat a banana everyday. I also drink tonic water which contains quinine, it will stop a cramp immediately.

I’m still looking for answers. Tried everything but the tonic water with quinine.
