if you're somebody and you're currently drinking creatine right now please stop if you're somebody who is literally working out you think that you're doing everything right but you're not drinking enough water you're taking your creatine wrong which believe it or not there's actually a right way to take it and you notice that you have so many problems you feel more fatigue stomach aches literally this was my story because I was on okay so I was on one creatine for like probably a couple years it's one of my favorites I just bought it again this one and it's called one soul and it's literally the packaging is literally like this but for this one you take one scoop before your workout so it's five grams total so you're taking two point five grams before your workout two point five grams after your workout I did stop creatine for some time so then I moved out and I was like okay I can't afford this my mom actually ended up getting me this one but I was like okay I'm just gonna stop but then I was like okay I'm gonna skip to like a cheaper alternative they had this certain creatine out cost goes so I bought it and I started taking it and instead this one didn't really tell me like I really thought it was stupid taking two point five grams before workout after a workout but apparently there's actually a way to take the creatine right so for this new creatine that I was taking I was just taking a spoonful because it didn't come with like a scooper so I was taking a spoonful probably every night every time I took my creatine I probably was doing like this like probably like just now of this like this much water if it was doing this much water every single time but then after I chugged it because it always sink to the bottom I would literally chug it real quick and then I would break another full cup of water so I wasn't doing all the water at once I was taking my creatine like this every single day like three more weeks later I noticed like the worst stomach pains when I tell you I have not had like consistent movements with my stomach when it comes to going to the bathroom for the past six months and I completely overlooked it until this past weekend or I was down the shore and I literally when I tell you my stomach was so inflamed I got down Friday at eight o'clock could not do anything could not eat I was having the worst time ever but I was kind of overlooking it until Saturday came when I tell you I was so inflamed I was looking it up my whole left side was swollen mind you I was always feeling super fatigued my past six months every time I stopped my creatine I noticed a difference and then I realized yeah the creatine is the problem and I'm working out I thought I was doing everything right I'm working out I eat enough protein I eat enough carbs I'm always drinking water but for some reason I was just not taking this creatine right and it's something with a sensitive stomach you're supposed to take 2.5 grams before the workout and 2.5 grams after the workout which just this one over here what I like about this creatine is that you can even tell this it's like a lot more grainy like it's literally super grainy the creatine that I was taking honestly was like super super thick chunks and I honestly didn't look past it apparently you're just it's not digesting right in your body so if you're someone who's taking creatine you think that you're doing everything right I was like realizing why am I not noticing progress I was feeling stronger but so much more bloated and every time I was thinking that it was my core workouts because every time I did a core workout my stomach hurt so bad but it was only because my creatine wasn't digesting or somebody who's in the situation or kind of knows how to like look above it or fix it please let me know because I am nervous I'm starting a new creatine I'm gonna go back to my old brand I'm gonna give myself like a week to start again but this is just a friendly reminder like your health matters so much like I didn't think there was a right way of taking creatine so be safe out there and yeah
