Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 When I started getting painful foot and leg cramps, it took ma while to relate it to dietary changes I had made. I discovered I was very sensitive to dietary oxalates. When I went on a low oxalate diet, and began to take Calcium (with no Magnesium or vitamin D) prior to each mel, the cramping diminished, then went away. I discovered that high oxalte foods (spinach, especially) was the cause of my problem.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I get foot cramps in the night, esp. if I have been walking a lot or exercising and if I eat something salty. I found taking 1000 iu E and Potassium (3 pills) that it goes away....Lynn - kookiebhl Thursday, January 15, 2009 7:38 PM << >> Painful cramps in feet I am having problems with a portion of my feet cramping.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 I usually find relief from leg and foot cramps by either eating a few bananas during the day or taking a potassium supplement. With new breath, Ravija Quote
