Oh don't get me wrong, I agree with you. I am still taking it and not worried about the possible rare kidney problems.. I was just saying it is possible and that may be what happened to that guy. Rare sides like that won't affect me or change my opinion...
But feeling bloated is my main concern... It's all in my stomach, draining my energy and I had diarrhea one time and I've only been taking this 5 days now... I'm wondering if this is harming my body and should I be off of this immediatly and what brands won't do this to me.

yeah thats def bad. like i said, try cutting it to 5g and see how you feel after a fews days. if you still have problems you might want to consider another delivery method (EE, gluconate, etc).

You should be atleast consuming 120 oz of water a day, that could help with the diarrhea.

true. yes make SURE you drink tons of water. 1 gallon is like bare minimum a day. id shoot for 2 unless your only like 140lbs.

GNC is a complete ripoff. order online....bodybuilding.com FTW. WAAAAY cheaper too.
id drop down to 5g. 5g is matainence anyways and theres no need to front load creatine.

there are other sites out there WAAAAY cheaper than BB.com

well there are a couple places that will 5% price match (like supplementwarehouse.com)which can be cheaper. but if you use BB.com and use the 10% off coupon code its nearly the same price. plus, BB.com has amazing customer service. so worth a couple extra bux.

oh really. how do you know you had kidney problems? and how do you know it was related to creatine? creatine also wont make you break out man, its not horomonal.

I went in for a physical as I used to do every year and that's how I found out. Luckily the time I started taking the creatine was just two or three months before my physical. The creatine content was not soaring high, but it was a bit over normal content.

As for the breaking out, that was my experience and I know a couple other guys who started taking it and the same thing happened. I was 20 and it was not like I was going through puberty and that was the only additive I was taking at the moment with Whey Protein. I know it was not the whey protein because I took that in high school and never had problems with breaking out, other than your little pimples here and there once in a while.

so you actually HAD kidney problems or just your creatine levels were high? and how exactly did your doc definitively link these problems to creatine?

yeah well none of them are THAT much cheaper that it really justifies buying from them. If youve ever dealt with BB.com's customer service, youd understand. Ill pay a few extra bucks to keep BB.com above the rest. theyre an A+++ company.
