I've been taking 10g creatine monohydrate (unflavoured) a day (I am a small person)

Do you get any bloating issues? I've heard that can be an issue due to the water retention unless you take it in a smaller dose. But then again, everybody's body reacts differently.

Only If I take over 5g in one dose - so I tend to split it up.

I notice greater thirst but not bloating. I drink around 3-4L of water a day, not including from the vegetables I eat.

The water retained is experienced as intramuscular rather than the typical water retention you feel when it is in surrounding tissues.

Hard to describe - I feel fuller and more powerful!

Still going strong at it :)


Deal with the issue now, on your terms, in your control. Or the issue will deal with you, in ways you won't appreciate, and cannot control.
