I know Pistonpump asked me to "shut up", yet I risk taking the liberty to comment on this. First of all, the creating loading approach is outdated, yet controversial. If you respond to monohydrate, you could stay on 3g or so per day long-term. Second, if you are a monohydrate non-responder and get bloats from it, it sounds to me like a prescription for real trouble to dose 20g-30g per day, even if for a few days only. The bloat would probably last for weeks!
As I get serious discomfort from monohydrate, I would not touch it for any reason. My personal favourites in terms of creatine forms are creatine alpha ketoglutarate, tri-creatine malate, tri-creatine orotate, creatin ethyl ester malate, tri-creatine HMB, and creatine pyruvate. In terms of products, I would recommend NeoVar, Ragnarok, Clout, and NO3 Overload.
To summarize, the best alternative for a monohydrate non-responder may not be to choose one particular advanced creatine form. It may be best to take a blend of some of the different advanced creatine forms. The result would, at the very least, match the best monohydrate effects.
