Try Bannanas: Frequent cramps can be due to subtle electrolyte disturbances. In muscle cramps the biggest offenders are typically low potassium and calcium. You can supplement your diet with food rich in these minerals and see if your symptoms improve. Also, for some reason taking a swig of pickle juice helps a lot of people with acute cramping episodes.
