Hi Deb, tx for the info. I am not having any cramping as a result of 
the SG, but I should probably look into the 
potassium/calcium/magnesium supplement bc I am prone to getting 
sudden, severe cramps in my legs & feet. I don't know why I would be 

deficient in these things since my diet includes regular intake of 
milk & bananas, but a supplement may be in order.
