Hello, I have been taking creatine since a couple of months. I have never done a heavy loading phase, and limited myself to 5g or less a day. I have tried different kinds of creatine (monohydrate powder, hcl, gummies), tried splitting the dose in two 2.5g servings, tried having it with food, but the outcome is the same: I get bloated, gassy and get cramps in my abdomen.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Should I just stop taking creatine or try harder or maybe try something else?
Will these side effects go away in a longer timeframe (3+ months)?
Any advice is appreciated
