You could have low levels of potassium, calcium, or magnesium. All 3 can and will cause cramping if they are low. And of course make sure you're getting in over a gallon of water day.

As always Sister, your right on. People think it's only potassium, but calcium and magnesium can do it too.

try all the above-but for almost instant relief-an oz or so of vinegar knocks the cramping every time for me.Makes sense-OD

been pounding down the gator-aid.. calcium mag and zinc.. the cramps are definitely reducing..
not getting those locked up leg knots where you are limping around
I suspect it also dehydration...it has been really hot this week..
and even if you are in ac you are sweating...just it is evaporating ..

If you eat Idaho potatoes that helps too. In the summer I eat a raw potato with salt on it and a banana to help prevent the cramps. I know it might sound strange but eating pickles makes cramps stop for most people. All you do is wait till you start getting a cramp and eat a few pickles.
