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.

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊
