    Creatine Water Retention

    There is no real way to really get rid of the common "creatine bloat."

    Remember that in order to get the positive effects of creatine you should be drinking plenty of water (at least a gallon a day). So the only true way to get rid of the bloat is to stop taking creatine.

    You can try different brands of creatine which may help. I use Optimum Nutrition's Creatine Monohydrate and have noticed little to no bloating.

    If you're worried about the way you look only take creatine during the winter months when you're most likely to not have your shirt off in public.
