Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Leg cramps are often from low magnesium.....I use 400 m and 400 mg pm of mag glycinate. You can start by taking an Epsom salts soak (try one tonight....in expensive and doesn't require anything special except Epsom salts and a tub!) in the tub....parents of autistic children use this all the time. Magnesium will help take away all the aches and pains. Joan Coconut Oil From: stubbiegirl@... Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:30:20 +0000 Subject: Leg & Foot Cramps Hi Friends, I've been having some awful cramps in my feet and lower legs, usually at about 3:00 AM. I'm taking Potassium Gluconate, 99 mg, 3-4 times as day. Still get the cramps off and on. I've been trying to pinpoint the cause. I've heard about the 4-Blood Type diet. I have A+ blood. Coconut oil is something that, according to the diet, I shouldn't eat. I had some coconut oil one evening and had cramps that night. Does anyone know if this is connected or had this happen to them? I'm really stumped on this one. Thanks Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 For me, leg cramps are a result of oxalate problems. I place ZERO faith in the blood type diet.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks, Joan. I haven't had a good soak in Epsom salts lately. Sounds like a good idea.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Alobar, I looked up oxalate foods on the internet. I've been eating a lot of things on the list, such as spinach, almonds, quinoa, blueberries. I'm guessing the problem is too much oxalate.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Some people eat oxalates with no problem. Other people have a leaky gut. There are lots of Do's and Don't's. Rather intimidating for me when I began the low oxalate diet. The e-list was (and is) most helpful.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Deb you may want to check out magniesum oil. It is one of the most essential minerals here is a web site http://www.integratedhealth.com/naturalnews/ I use it (but i ned to be more consitant ) I too was being awaken at nite i mix it with some melted coconut oil. mag. is not really an oil it does feel like it but it seperates from the oil so you have to shake it with the coconut oil, I am trying to make a lotion or a salve with coocunt oil, beeswax and sweet almond oil for ease of use my skin is so dry. You have to be carefull of potasium too much or to little, and we do need it in our systems From: adrianamsler <stubbiegirl@...> Subject: Leg & Foot Cramps Coconut Oil Date: Saturday, February 26, 2011, 3:30 PM  Hi Friends, I've been having some awful cramps in my feet and lower legs, usually at about 3:00 AM.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Yes, I have Hyland's Mag Phos. I use it during a cramp. You take six pellets under your tongue every 15 minutes until the cramps are over.
