I have tried to take creatine in various forms but every single time I start to gain in strength I end up with a swollen stomach. I don't feel bloated I just look fat !!
Why is this

    LOTS of water. Not everyone does, I sure do too.

    quote="MrM27;31333141"]Did you load it?

    If so, that's not necessary. But as already stated, if you are receptive to it then you will retain water because that is the purpose. [/quote]

    No I don't bother with loading. If it retains water so much, how are some people fine and others not ????
    Even when I buy protein with it in I notice the bloating !
