Exercise Questions - Why Did I Get Diarrhea from Creatine Monohydrate?

exercise questions Exercise Question:
I had purchased a creatine monohydrate powder online. After three days taking 10 grams each day for the loading phase, I had loose stool and diarrhea. So I stopped taking it for three days and after that I had started taking it again and the same thing happened. Why is this occurring?

 

exercise questions Exercise Answer:
Recent studies have shown athletes who took more than the recommended amount of creatine experienced diarrhea, however this creatine effect went away after reducing the dosage. I would recommend decreasing the dosage to the maintenance level and see if the side effects still occur. If you still experience these issues, I recommend discontinuing creatine use altogether.
