I know this has been asked before so forgive me.
I’ve been doing daily creatine for 10+ years and it’s always been very good to me. never understood the complaints about water and bloating.
Then sometime in the last year it’s turned on me and I don’t know exactly why. when I take it, 12 hours later I’m having insane diarrhea.
I’ve tried changing diet, removing trigger foods etc, and nothing helps until I stop the creatine, and the diarrhea always matches the timing.
I’ve tried HCL and Mono and it’s the same. I’ve tried splitting the dose which doesn’t help. Taking it at lunch with food does help but it still bloats tf out of me.
Sucks because otherwise I love it and have for a long time.
Any ideas? Is there another form that is easier on digestion? Take it with digestive enzymes? Gummies instead of powder?
Maybe it’s just time to move on.
