I've posted elsewhere about some ongoing health issues that cause me dehydration, depletion and fatigue. I've noticed when I eat water melon, I pretty much always start getting craps shortly after. I'm wondering if this might provide a clue as to what's going on with my minerals/electrolytes.
Sounds strange I know but what could it be about water melon that could be knocking me out of balance even further and causing cramps?
On the one hand in general it just feels as though watermelon washes me out and eventually makes me more dehydrated but also I see it is high in potassium so I wonder if thats causing an issue?
I've tried massively upping my salt intake but unfortunately that doesn't seem to have helped.
In general I feel awful depleted as if I'm deficient in something but thus far have been unable to find what it is or find anything to help.
If anyone has any ideas I'd be really grateful to hear them.
Edit: Just to clarify. When I say cramp, I don't mean stomach cramps but muscular cramp in the feet, legs etc.
