[QUOTE="Beagler, post: 1646825, member: 326827"] Just a word about the other problems you mention - constipation and night cramps - both can be encouraged by lack of fluid intake, so do make sure you are drinking plenty (preferably non-alcoholic!!). If you are reducing carbs, increasing salt might be a good idea, but personally I find that too much salt gives me MORE cramp. Finally, one thing that stops night cramps within thirty seconds is one quarter of a teaspoon of Epsom salts. But only if you are getting cramps from a shortage of magnesium, so try a few times and if it doesn't work you have wasted a whole 70p on a pack of Epsom salts from Boots. (DON'T use horticultural stuff, it could be high in lead and such like!) [/QUOTE]
