Nauseous after creatine

[sub5slayer.73]

Is it a coincidence that I took creatine and the same day I had a large headache for maybe 2-3 hours and vomited? It’s been 4 days should I try it again or not?

Did the product have anything else besides creatine in it? How much did you take and did you drink enough water?

creatine doesn't cause that.
if it were caused by creatine you'd be lying in pain every time you ate beef.
take it again and see if it continues, if so then there's something wrong with the batch - just return it and get a new one

It’s almost 100% not creatine but if you’re worried skip loading entirely and do a low maintenance dose

Nope only creatine monohydrate, I had around 2L of water

Then it sounds like creatine shouldn't be the issue, at least not the vomiting part unless it was contaminated

only other thing is the packaging says do not use under 18, I am 18. I asked ChatGPT and it said they put that there for legal purposes, Is it still fine to try again?

If I were you I would either return it and get a different brand or just try it again at a lower dose, but you have to make your own decisions and your own research, not just blindly listen to people. Anyway, at the end of the day it's just creatine we're talking about here...
