How sensitive can you be to creatine?

[Qballz]

My nephew is talking about using creatine at 19. So the kid starts and comes telling me he has these symptoms:

*headaches
*insomnia
*diarrhea

He has some GNC creatine monohydrate I think. Why is this going on?

bro the stomach issues fine...those are fairly common with creatine...but the other stuff sounds psychological to me....

Sounds like he's sick to me. Ask him how much he's taking. Make sure he's taking a sensible amount, 5-10g/day

If he is taking reasonable amouts every day, he should not have any problems whatsoever. At most he might have some stomach issues at first, nothing serious.

Other symptoms might be related to some other factors because so far I have never met anybody having any trouble with creatine.

of course it could be unrelated but I wouldn't trust anything from GNC. the fillers they put in their shit can easily fuck up your stomach

 

[aggirl]

To be honest I don't think it's the creatine. But like stevesmi said. ...DON'T trust gnc stuff. Most of there things (especially gnc brand) is loaded with filers, not to mention how overpriced it is. Are you super bloated??

 

[gymrat827]

it can just fuk my stomach up......bout it. But it does it pretty good.......nuf to the point where i use it at lower doses and use it with carbs.

Headaches and insomnia don't seem right, imo. If all of that goes away after a couple days off, just toss it. I can't remember ever getting something from GNC that I was really happy about.

I can't take it. It gives me the runs every time...

he can be getting headaches becaus he is not drinking enough water on it.You need alot of water on creatine. Diarrhea is very common on it.

insomnia has nothing to do with creatine.

I told him to stop using the creatine and he's not sure if it's even expired stuff from GNC.

I was on 10 mg a day for well over a year. Till one day my stomach was all kinds of fucked up. Crazy cramps, distention, bloating. Gas but not able to burp. I stopped taking everything. 2days later totally gone. I was totally fine. About a week after that I went back on it and the next day. Boom same thing. Could just be a weird reaction like that. I have since cycled back on but at 5 g on work out days only.

It was from true nutrition. I had been using the same stuff for the entire year. It was really random and strange.

I don't Trust anything from GNC, never did.
And especially since the FDA went after them for Not having what was on the Label, in their Product, this was only about 1 Month ago.

Go here to get some Pharmaceutical Grade Creatine in Bulk for Cheap.
I use the "Creapure", that's made in Germany and Micronized, and it's Hard to find a Better Quality product.
Especially for this Price...................................... JP

What else is he taking diarrhea is a normal side effect of creatine, but he must be taking something else with it. Headaches and insomnia are not normal side effects of creatine
