Creatine giving me some serious diarrhea

[Leftrightleft]

So I decided after a few years to try Creatine Monohydrate again. I had a bad experience a few years ago, tons of diarrhea and decided it wasn't worth it.

This time, I got some basic stuff from Vitamin Shoppe, and I been on it for 2 weeks now. I noticed some SOLID gains, really enjoying the gains but once again the diarrhea has begun. I take only 1 teaspoon after my workouts with apple juice. It seems like the longer I go on it the more the diarrhea gets worst.

I am not sure if it's smarter to just get off of it entirely or to reduce the dosage. I would appreciate any advice from experienced members. What am I doing wrong here?

Make sure you're drinking PLENTY of water. If you're not getting up at night while sleeping to piss youre not drinking enough.

I have had the same problem with creatine, your body should adjust soon.

I drink tons of water. Everyone knows me as Mr. Camel because I drink water around the clock. I wake up 2 times at 4 and 5 am to piss. I just don't get why I cant get over this creatine hump.

Try a different brand of Creatine. The mono-hydrate gave me headaches, but I changed to a different brand and it cleared it up for me. Give it a shot it may work for ya.

I usually recommend to those that have issues with creatine monohydrate to trying switching to creatine HCL (con-crete).

I pooped about 12 times a day and peed about 40 times a day when i started taking creatine. EVentually my body got use to it

Kre Alkalyn seems to work better for people who get the classic side effects of creatine monohydrate.
