Default why is breatine bloating?

It seems as though every time I start taking creatine, I get bloated and look like i dont work out. Why? Should women just not take it? Only on a bulk? Isnt it good for recovery? I want abs back!

What is your diet like? I get bloated if I eat too much oatmeal or drink too much water.

yeah the creatine volumizes your cells and optimizes their water retention to give you a better pump in the gym. so that's why you feel and look bloated. it's a good 'side effect'....coz it's doing what it's suppose to.

stick with it, once you cycle off the excess water will go with it.

The cycle of creatine? You did load and everything right? You should read the creatine sticky at the top and also the article on creatine.
