Creatine was not out when I was competing back in the day. Further, many bodybuilders tend to use products that may cause some minor upset but most feel the pros outweigh the cons. So what happens, they just continue taking it. No difference than steroids. They all know the consequences, but that still doesn't keep a bodybuilder from using them.
Fred, only you can determine what is beneficial to you. NOT ANYONE ELSE! For someone to suggest that creatine isn't causing you any problems is just down right silly-no offense.
As I said in an earlier post, use 100% creatine. Instead of one tablespoon, try taking a half teaspoon before and a half teaspoon after and see how that works. If it continues to bother you-STOP TAKING IT!
It's no different than any other product. Usually on the label of any medication or product it will say if you experience a rash or ANY kind of irritability,cease using the product.
It doesn't say, it must be something that you are doing because the product has been out for years and many people take it without any problems!
You feel me.

How are you mixing the creatine? Mine is mixed with almond milk or some Crystal Lite, This is done as a repair to the muscle fibers during and after a workout. you have 15 minutes after a workout to start the repair of the muscles all the stretching that goes on with a workout. The day after a workout if your muscles are sore its because of the lack of hydration to your body and that means muscles if something is upsetting your tummy you need to look at the whole picture, what else are you eating don't blame something body builders, trainers and athletics's have used for years.

I've used creatine for years. I thought it made a noticable difference in my workouts when I first started using it. Long term, I think the benefit is modest, but I do think there's a benefit - otherwise I would not still be taking it. The Center for Science in the Public Interest has cited some limited studies that showed older adults who used creatine suffered less muscle loss than those who did not. I have not had any noticable stomach problems from it, but I've had friends who have used it who complained of bloating or stomach upset. I would suggest trying to modify your dosage. If you're taking more than 1 teaspoon per day, cut back to just one teaspoon full. (Assuming you are using 100% pure creatine monohydrate - if you are using one of the "amplified" creatines, you might want to try changing to plain, unflavored / unsweetened creatine.) If you are now using just one teaspoon, then you might want to try splitting the dose so you only take 1/2 teaspoon before your workout, and then 1/2 teaspoon afterward. If that still leaves you with an upset stomach, then forget the creatine. Like I said, any boost is modest, so you probably can make good progress without it if you stick with your workouts and watch what you eat.
