if using a diuretic for a show and cramping start what do you do!?

[Johnny Smiles]

what do all of you that use diuretics for contests do if cramping sets in?
theoretically if one was using:
diazide (sp?)
or
lasix

curious what everyone does if cramping happens. how do you stop it or deal with it....?

Try Multi minerals, take them with your meals.

never used it myself but saw that QUININE was posted in the tom prince thread as a solution to cramping.

Pedialite IV

I think I read on here way back when... I have no personal experience with this so that is all I will say..

I have a bottle of concentrated minerals and electrolytes that when I feel myself cramping I drop about 10 drops on my tongue and it goes away.. Had a guy at a show have his abs start cramping up backstage and he used it and it all went away perfect.

I second this pedialite will help with that and a few sips of water.

1. quinine sulfate
2. pedialyte
3. this is the fastest way to stop cramping, i swear it works, an old martial arts guy taught me this years ago and i actually used it this past thursday.
PICKLE JUICE! :lightbulb:

If you don't have any electrolytes beverage on hand, try to find a few salted biscuits and sip on water. If not using a potassium sparing diuretic, salted cashews are great to snack on.

I always make sure to bring a bottle of Pedialyte.

 

[Gravel]

Pedialyte. If your using a potasium sparing diuretic than sodium must be replaced if cramping begins. B-Boy is correct (Pickle Juice)!

Since I began using Synthetek's Synthelator for competitions I have had no issues with cramping whatsoever. I read a while back that this was the case and it's definitely true for me.
