Creatine Problems

[litre]

Alright here's the deal. I mix creatine mono with bcaa & taurine pre workout, and creatine mono / bcaa post workout.

A little while later I feel my stomach making weird noises and I have to 100 yard dash to the can. I just dealt with it for awhile thinking it was something I ate or my cold meds I was on but nothing has changed.

I'm thinking about stopping creatine unless there's something else I can do. I feel like I'm wasting it and also possibly dehydrating myself. Not to mention my toilet paper lasts about 3 days, lol.

Any ideas?

Are you taking those on an empty stomach or with stimulants? Both of those things can cause issues in some people

I take it on about 3-4 hours after lunch if that counts as an empty stomach.
No stimulants or pre workout just mix together taurine, bcaa, and creatine mono.

bro sometimes an overload of bcaas can cause this too... try to scale back to creatine just prior to your workout and see how that works and then if you still have problems drop it... if it continues after that then you know its the bcaas and not the creatine... sometimes you have to do some trail and error to get to the route of the issue...

I would scale back or try to take just one serving of it intra-workout and sip on it slowly.

I agree that I would move the creatine to preworkout and see how that goes
