[tjbentham]

take it before training not after for better results, and why the rush to take creatine how long have u even been training jeez

You should be fine man, i never really bloated to a significant degree. IMO it should be a staple supplement, and is for most of the people i know at least.....10g's of pure mono a day does it for me...

Dude if your just starting out you should not be taking creatine. Work up you metabolsim first and stamina. Hump day is 2 months after you begin. Once you have been consistent with the first 2 months then consider taking creatine. Untill then you should focusing on dropping body fat then working on muscle mass.

Why should he work on dropping body fat first? I know when I started working out my main priority was to gain mass regardless of body fat.

Creatine mono shouldn't give you too much bloating, I just started on it recently and I haven't held too much water weight. You won't wind up holding back a whole ton of water though.

You might want to consider switching the creatin ethyl ester insted of monohydrate.....its designed to not give you that "creatine bloat"

Is there a way of preventing this bloating. i.e increasing ur water intake? i want to use the ester stuff but i recently got 2 tubs of creatine monohydrate for free and it'll proboly last me until next summer.
