What Causes Muscle Cramps While On Cholestyramine?

Hi, I am taking Cholestyramine for diarrhea. I have Crohns disease, and trying to get it under control. I am having cramps in my toes and tops of my feet. Also some in my fingers at the end of the evening. Is this a side effect? Thank you Georgia.
