mono issue?

[AndShane]

i took mono about 2 weeks ago. I havent taken it since but i am feeling effects in gym as far as strength being way up. However, my weight is also and my stomach feels bloated for past 2 weeks along with constant belching and uncomftorable feeling. My weight is still up like i am taking mono but i am not. my reasoning is that its not out of my system. I took supersize to be honest. But i felt my stomach have some isses right after i took it but i didnt know it would last this long in my system???

how much u taking? dont take no more than 5 grams. ull be good with 3 grams a day. drink it with grape juice and plenty of water thruout the day

its common to be bloated on mono. take only 3 - 5 g/day

like i said ive been off for 2 weeks and haven take anything. I dont want to take it because it bloated me bad with not much use.....i was saying is it normal for this to stay in system a few weeks because I think it is. Strength and weight up like i was on creatine but i am not for 2 weeks

Do you have a structured diet at all? And if your answer is yes then you should roughly know the amount proteins/fats/carbs you get a day off the top of your head.

same good diet i have had for some time. However, the health food store said i should cut wheat out for a week and see if that helps me with my symptoms?

What? A good diet is a structured one where the individual understands their macros, you should do some reading in the nutrition section brodawg. I feel this weight gain might be a result of change in diet recently and is definitely not the creatine. Creatine may lead to some water retention(which is actually a good thing it will be intramuscular not subcutaneous[unless you're overdoing your dose]) but should not lead to a gain in fat mass.

my diet same as it has been forever..ha. Just something upset my stomach and i am holding water due to creatine mono. Everytime i try this i gain 5 to 10 pounds in 2 weeks at least. I just quit thinking weight would go down and it does at times but diet hasnt changed. I am stronger than ever almost and I am not taking anything. I still think creatine is in me or I wouldnt be this strong. I know my body just didnt know if anyone would think creatine would stay this long?

Creatine can take about a month to fully saturate and just as long to become unsaturated

ok thanks. I guess this is whats happening because stomach is highly sensitive and bloated almost after every meal and basically started after creatine mono and still there after 2 weeks

make sure u drinking whey isolate protein only. maybe it could be your protein shake if u drink one. and stay clear from milk

Doesn't really sound like the creatine to me but it acts different with each individual...just my two cents lol

Yeah, as above have mentioned, seems a bit quick to be saturating and causing bloating.

Diet changes? It can cause some stomach discomfort, so maybe try taking it with a shake or a meal. As others have mentioned as well, 3gs should have you set, and should minimize bloat/side effects.
