My mother had this problem and the doctor prescibed quinine. Her problem was more related to night twitching and the quinine helped, I think it's called restless legs. If the cramp is related to just one muscle, I'm told that "pinching" the muscle helps. I do think it's probably due to something missing from the diet.
