A member asked:
I have lost 10lbs eating healthy n i walked 3 miles over a week ago but now my calf muscles feel like they r going to cramp. why is that?!

Listen to your body: Omeprazole interferes with the absorption of magnesium. It is possible that the muscle cramps are due to over-exercising and increased intracellular calcium which can be treated by topical magnesium over the cramping muscles or taking magnesium and potassium orally.
