I am having leg cramps that are especially bad at night.I had been doing well with my combo of magnesium, calcium and potassium and went off. Bad mistake! They have come on even stronger than before and this time I cannot seem to get my balance in my minerals to get the cramps to stop. Advise please!

Been there... I had my Vitamin levels checked a year ago and my D was 14.8... It took about 9 months to get it above the minimum.. Leg cramps are gone now...

Interesting! I stopped taking vit D. I wonder if that could be part of my problem.

Keep in mind that one needs to get blood labs when taking a high dose of VitaminD..

Yeah, good advise. I am not even taking a multi right now. I was thinking adding my multi back in that has a low dose of D. Right now I think I should be getting enough D from the sun but I may be mistaken.

Keep in mind that as some of us age or have kidney disease, our bodies no longer convert sunshine to D as they once did..

Thanks for this info, I did not know this. Do you mind me asking how old you are? I am 49. I have read that with age people can more need for certain vitamins like B12 but I did not know vit D was one of them.

I came across some interesting information several days ago while checking out a blog that was new to me. The author (an MD) describes his experience with cramping. The posting is rather long. Scroll down about half-way to the section headed

You should also have your iron levels (free and stored), as low iron is correlated with restless leg.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
