I am just writing to share my unusual experience with some creatine products. I have only been trainining consistantly for just over 2 years. Early on though I began using Creatine Monohydrate. I went through a couple bulking cycles in which I would use the CM for about 8 weeks or so. Third time around, I started noticing that I was getting a severe upset stomach, and finally realized I was suffering from the CM. No big deal, you hear about poor digestion of CM all the time.
I researched for awhile and soon began using Syntrax Swole V2. I enjoy the product and was happy with its results while taking it. I went through 1 whole container and started into a 2nd. Some time passed and I started another bulk cycle and began taking the Swole again. I took it at approximately 6:30 in the morning same time and with same meal as before. By 9:00 the morning, I was vomitting all over the place. I had just started some antibiotics due to a sinus infection, so I thought there may have been some sore of reaction. I discontinued Swole for a few weeks, finished my ~wk of antibiotics and then started Swole again. This time I took it around 3pm about 1/2 hr before my workout. Just like clockwork, 1.5hrs latter stomach cramps, 2.5hrs severe cramps and heat flash, and at ~3hrs I vomit, after which I generally feel great, with the exception of the trauma of vomitting and dry heaving. Swole used a Malate form of Creatine, so my next stab will be a Ester form.
Has anyone had any reactions like this to Creatine?

Picked up a can of BSN No-Explode. Just took my first serving yesterday at ~4:00 by 7:00-7:30 I was blowing chunks. Arrggg this is frustrating as hell. I feel like I cannot take any creatine based products.
So is anyone else having this severe of a reaction to creatine, and its derivatives?

As for creatine mono, i took that for monthes with no problems, then after coming off a break for several weeks and starting up on mono again, I began having severe upset stomach. I discointinued use because I was so bloated and stomach upset that I could not eat for 4-6 hours.
