I don't believe that.......low potassium is what gives you cramps.

I take potassium supplement every day and since I started doing that, all of my leg cramps and other cramps disappeared. I even had bowel spasms/cramps, and they went away also.

If you eat high potassium foods, than no need for a supplement, but I do not, so I take a potassium tablet every day.

leg cramps
Are you making sure you are very well hydrated? Drink lots and lots of water during the day. Also I'm not so sure about the potassium connection. I think there might be something to that. Try eating more bananas and drinking OJ.

I get toe/foot cramps....
when my potassium is low. When I take my potassium supplement it resolves, so I do believe there is a connection, at least in my case.

Yes more of a stomach bug. Just keeps hanging on. Pains and cramps and just not feeling well. nm
