Not likely: increased dietary sodium intake, and low glycemic index foods can cause glycosuria, and volume depletion, leading to dehydration. Acidification of urine, secondary to dehydration, can promote formation of kidney stone, in addition to electrolyte imbalance, causing muscle cramps, back pain. Breast tenderness, pelvic cramps can be part of hormonal changes from normal menstrual cycle.
