Dear sir,
Thanks for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into your history I see that you are getting severe cramps in your legs .Generally it can be a result of electrolyte abnormalities . I advise you to get your calcium , sodium , potassium levels done .
A vitamin D level is also advisable . Since you suffer from IBS it can be the cause of diarrhoea or occasional discomfort you experience . A USG abdomen is advisable to rule out any pathology.
I advise you to see your treating doctor and discuss these possibilities and act according to his advise .
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
