Before I was diagnosed I would always have an unhealthy shot of blackcurrant cordial and then a banana after playing 5 a side football.... stopped this now and just have a lot of cold water.... which is fine. I often suffer from cramps, which was the reason for having the banana. Bananas seem to be a bit off limits in terms of carbs/sugars... is there an alternative that might be able to help with the cramps... last weeks took days to recover.

They say that quinine in Tonic Water is helpful at relieving leg cramps, you can buy Slimline Tonic Water in most supermarkets and Off Licences.
