I tried Creatine Monohydrate!! Awful

PETAgirlUK Posts: 5 Joined: 2004/10/25	2004/10/27, 12:42 AM I tried creatine today and I feel like crap!! My stomach hurts so bad and I am so gassy...I really feel like death warmed over. I feel shaky and hungry,..Just really bad. Is this normal? I only had a 8 oz drink. I mixed it with cran/rasberry juice, it's all I had, I seriously wish I had never tried it. :(

That first time I took it on an empty stomach and I puked 20 minutes into my workout. The next day I ate some oatmeal and 2 hard boiled eggs minus the yoke, then 20 minutes later took the creatine and was fine. No sick feelings at all. Good luck!

I perfer gatoraid......grapjuice or crystal light if i'm watching my calories. How much you take? Usually that upset feeling is form taking to much, an dalos not having somthing in your stomache. -------------- ....I'm probably in my underwear typing this......or maybe not!

Make sure you are doing 5 gr. doses maximum. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
