Are you taking a calcium channel blocker for hypertension, per chance? They also can cause leg cramps by messing up your electrolyte balance as previously discussed.
I can't tolerate CCBs for that reason. I ate bananas until I had a desire to swing through the treetops before I called the doctor to complain.

My wife got real bad leg cramps after her rny. After eatting about a trillion bannanas and seeing several Dr's we got turned on to Magnesium like some of the guys said above. Since she has been taking them the leg cramps have disapered. we found a calcium mag pill at wal-mart that we both take.
Hope this helps,
