Why am I having leg cramps after taking a gluten-free diet?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There are a lot of reasons for leg cramping:

1. Muscular spasms.
2. Least physical activity.
3. Hemoglobin and other constituents of blood not in the normal range.
4. If the blood supply to muscles is interrupted for a short time.
5. Fluid and electrolytes imbalance.
6. Calcium and vitamin D levels are very important.
7. Dietary deficiencies, like proteins, micronutrients, and macronutrients.
8. Longstanding diarrhea.

All of this situation warrants a quick visit to your primary care physician. He or she will go for proper evaluation and investigations and treat your problem accordingly. Leg cramps have nothing to do with gluten-free diet. It has a relation with cramps, and that is, gluten-free diet reduces the abdominal cramps, bloating, and excessive gas production.

Hope it helps. Please feel free to ask more queries if there are any doubts. I would be happy to assist.
