Have to drink freakin a lot of water right... I take whey pre wo, and NO, and creatine, then intra workout take bcaa (1 litre plus water), after workout take weight gainer+ whey. I feel so full with water... jelak.

QUOTE(yeeck @ May 4 2010, 09:15 PM) To overcome this, you need to make sure your mix a lot of water with your creatine. Also make sure that it is properly mixed and not still clumpy when you consume it. The first sign of stomach discomfort after consuming creatine is to immediately down a few cups of water... its not the water, trust me i drink more than enough. 5-6liters a day, 500ml with the 5g creatine alone.

I usually add 1 tablespoon of creatine to my 2 scoops of whey and 1 tablespoon of glucose as post workout, and add water until the shaker is almost full to the brim.

Better to feel full of water than to have the feeling of having to s#$% when driving home from gym.... This post has been edited by yeeck: May 5 2010, 11:46 PM

Lol. We're all talking about creatine and we forgot about amino acids. I guess creatine stole all the attention. Yo TS! If you're not taking creatine, I tell you man, you're losing out on the MOST cost effective supplement on the market. When you first take creatine, your body will gain 4-5kg of weight. Most of it is water weight, but your strength will shoot up and if you train hard enough, you can make those gains permanent. Check this out. Hope it helps, especially tip #10 http://fabodylous.blogspot.com/2010/05/tru...upplements.html

QUOTE(tineagle @ May 4 2010, 08:32 PM) I had digestive problems during my first month of taking creatine, it was EAS brand. 15mins after consumption, I'd have to rush to the toilet. It isn't the brand that's the issue, just that some people have low tolerance for this supplement. I took half a serving(2.5g) instead of the 5g recommended for 3 weeks, and from the forth week onwards I was taking 5g just fine. doesnt appear for me. I'm taking EAS Phosphagen as well

But the best effect is to take it on an empty stomach, at least 2-3 hrs after ur last meal. My veins felt like they were gonna burst out yesterday after all the pulldowns, pullups and bicep curls...and I take NO during workout.

Different NO works differently for different people. You could adjust your intake time, like take it 10 minutes b4 workout, doesn't really matter, as long as you get the desired effects.

It was my tolerance, needed the body to get used to it. perhaps just wasn't used to creatine in my digestive system since i never eat steak, pork(rarely), salmon(rarely) and other food packed with creatine previously. I've taken EAS, Egonutritions and Generic Brand creatine ever since with zero problems till now.

Creatine cant dissolve? Mix it with warm water. Works freaking well with my UN micronize mono last time.
