Im not sure about the creatine hurting your stomach if you take it with caffine then that could be the problem.

when i first started using creatine i used gnc mono and i had problems, i would have sore a stomach and need to piss heaps. i got some advice from a guy i know and he told me to drink it with my protein drink with a little added sugar and the problems went away, but now im on bsn cellmass and i take it with water and its fine
takes time for your body to get use to it...some ppl get pains, some don't...some ppl get the ****s & once again some don't...i was fine the first time i took creatine mono, but my brother had the ****s for a couple days
