What Causes Muscle Cramps In Legs After Having Tecta For GERD?

Hello, I have been diagnosed with mild to moderate GERD and was taking Tecta for approx 3 weeks and started to experience muscle cramps in my legs and immediately stopped and I want to use some natural remedies - I purchased Betadine Hydrochloride tablets before meals and aloe vera juice that I take after meals. Can you please advise - thanks.

Drugs that inhibit acid production can have effect on calcium metabolism leading to subtle deficiency. This can cause cramps.
Get serum ca level done. Try natural remidies for GERD like avoid foods that increase your symptoms, have small and frequent meals. Avoid lying on bed after food for 2 to 3 hrs.
