Hi Brunneria, How long do magnesium capsules take to make an effect? I have taken one 400mg capsule before going to bed for 3 nights now and if anything my leg cramps have worsened. Last night was particularly bad. I think from 3am onwards I had to leap out of bed every half hour or so with...

Thanks. I eat lots of greens and in particular spinach so I would have thought I got enough magnesium. I will check out Holland & Barretts. Definitely don't need the "bowel loosening" effect. [emoji3]

Hi Brunneria, Sorry I only just saw your reply. I have added much more salt to my diet and increased my fluids considerably but both have failed to stop my cramps. I have suffered a lot from very painful cramp all my life to be honest and have occasionally had leg cramps at night but this has...

Sorry Ayed, I have only just seen your question. I cut out nearly all carbs and did it all straight away, not slowly. I have cut out all potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, pasta, cakes, biscuits, flour, bread, some fruit and all items with added sugar. I just drink water, tea, coffee and some red...

There are many many types of bananas in the world but the majority of commercially grown and exported bananas are Cavendish variety.

Hi Ayed, I am fairly new to this forum but the help and information you will find here is fantastic. Your blood sugar levels you posted look perfect, well within the normal range. I have been RH for 51 years following a stomach operation as a child but only really discovered more recently that...

Hi, I have been following LCHF now for 1 week and no hypos and my BS levels have been fairly even, before meals, 1 hr and 2 hrs after so I am very pleased so far. Today something strange happened. My FBS was 99 mg/dl (5.5) which is a little higher than normal. I had breakfast at 8.45am and had...

Hi Brunneria, Thanks for your reply. I have been quickly building up my knowledge about what to eat and what not to eat after all these years of just eating, albeit a healthy ish diet - if I don't count the sugar and high carbs High fat high protein does seem to be the answer to avoid weight...

I have been RH for 50 years but only really diagnosed in the last few years. When I was 12 years old I had a stomach and esophagus operation which I now know can lead to RH. As a teenager I occasionally would start shaking and sweating, and I mean sweating like someone had tipped a bucket of...
