Hi doctor,
I am having leg cramps, especially after taking lunch. I am on a gluten-free diet because of irritable bowel syndrome. This gluten-free diet helped cure my loose motion.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- There are a lot of reasons for leg cramping:
- Muscular spasms.
- Least physical activity.
- Hemoglobin and other constituents of blood not in the normal range.
- If the blood supply to muscles is interrupted for a short time.
- Fluid and electrolytes imbalance.
- Calcium and vitamin D levels are very important.
- Dietary deficiencies, like proteins, micronutrients, and macronutrients.
- 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.
