creatine huge ammount of water+ does it bloats?

[wojtara]

hello, so I am on 5g of creatine daily since year and half with a 2 week break 2months ago, recently I started to be thirsty like 2 times more than I was for the whole time before, basically I can chug 2l of water in the evening in 3-5 minutes and be thirsty again after 30 minutes, (drinking for the whole day normally ofc) I just wanted to ask is this normal after this time or should I cut it off ik i should go to the doc instead of asking here but yeah

and ive got other question pretty obvious but... does creatine bloats or is it a cope?

creatine can cause bloating, but the mechanism: Creatine draws water into your muscle cells. Thats why your muscles can look fuller.
and you should get checked by a doctor

Not anything too significant like the guy above said it draws water into muscle and you have very limited muscle in your face for it to do any significant bloating

Drink milk as well and make sure your electrolytes are balanced.
