So I normally buy universal creatine, ,thing is on amazon, they only sell it in tubs of 100 pills , and while it's cheap as chips, it's a right pain having to buy yet another tub if you are big boy like me after several weeks and get it delivered.

So I decided to buy another brand, optimum nutrition because I could get a bigger tub of pills which would last me longer , same stuff creatine mono, started taking it monday night, took more doses tuesday and by tuesday night, I started getting aching joints and I was so bloated it look like I was pregnant around the stomach, only my stomach was bloated nothing else, I also felt like I needed a shyt like I had the runs , but was constipated WTF,

Anyhow stop taking it since and almost back to normal. Taken Universal creatine without a problem, the only difference I can see if it was the creatine and not some random stomach bug or something is, that universal creatine claims it is creapure creatine ,wheras ON doesn't have that brand sign on the label.Now I don't normally take much notice of advertising, creapure apparently has slightly more purity than regular mono, ,could the regular mono have done this?

I would ask this question on a certain bodybuilding site,but apparently they can be a bit sensitive about criticsing products they sell in their store.

How many doses were you taking a day?


I took my animal pump pre workout which has 3g's of creatine in it, and then at lunch and dinner 2.5 g's of optimum nutrition creatine, which makes 8 g's on tuesday ,I had also taken a single dose of ON creatine monday night . . I drank plenty of water as normal during tuesday I started getting symptoms that evening, bloating, constipated feeling ,and aching joints and muscles. Carried on all night, wednesday, started to recover from it,I had stopped the creatine after the tuesday evening dose when I started to feel sick ,by wednesday night, fine apart from stomach ache.

Anyway, back to my regular creatine today , 'universal creatine',took a similar amount today and no trouble.

Isn't that a little much :patrice:

If you were taking in the same amount as you did on Tuesday every other day, I feel like that could give you some side effects. I could be wrong tho :yeshrug:
