Creatine

[surfrider]

I have been lifting for most of my life, but just started using creatine the other day to see what would happen. I loaded for a week, and now am hitting it before and after lifting. I have felt the affects some, but felt something else even more...THE SH$TS! Anyone else have this problem? If so, is it something that goes away eventually or am I gonna be running around with my hand on my azz forever?

Common. The last time I did creatine it was cell-tech, I was carrying more water than I did with a-50's. Real bloated.

Lots of people get the craps on creatine. You'll probably get over it, it's like protien farts.

That is due to your lower intestine not being able to fully digest the overflow created by creatine loading. Give it time and it'll go away.

How much are you taking? You don't need that much after the loading process - just 5 grams/day. You also only need to take it after lifting - if you're taking both before and after your lift, you may be using too much.

I think its a result from the loading. I only take it now after lifting, but I think my body was just in shock. I dont know, I will see. Last night i was hurtin though lol. Lots of pepto. Hopefully it gets better, or I am just gonna stop.
