Creatine and water weight gain question

xKoalaBearx

Has anyone experienced water weight gain after starting creatine supplementation?

I just started a week ago and have gained 5 pounds. I understand this is normal but want to know if this eventually comes off? Or does it just stay as long as I'm taking creatine?

Thanks

Yes, it draws water into muscle tissue. You'll lose it a couple weeks after you stop taking creatine.

Oh wow, i didn't know that. I was scared after using creatine for post workout in 2 weeks, I feel so big and bloated. Then i stopped taking on it.

I read an article that claimed .8-2.9% bw increase. I'm on my third try with it. I gave up twice before, b/c I felt so bloated. This time is working better. I increased my water and fiber intake and feel a lot better.
