Creatine and Diarrhea

mcfluffernutter Posts: 4 Joined: 2005/04/08	2005/04/08, 05:49 PM I just strarted taking powdered Creatine Monohydrate yesterday. 5 g before working out and 5 g before bed. This morning I had some bad diarrhea. Is this a normal side effect? Will this go away? What does this mean? Should I stop taking Creatine?
