@beautybykatguthealth: Everyone and their gym crush swears by creatine… but let me be real: I gained weight. Not in the toned muscle, cute pump kind of way. In the puffy face, jeans-don’t-button kind of way. 😩 Bloat? Yup. Water retention? Mhmm. Weight that would not budge no matter how hard I was working? Yep, that too. I know it works for some people and I’m happy for them but my body said “no thanks.” I’m already fighting hormonal weight, inflammation, and doing all the things to get my metabolism back on track… creatine just made it harder. i’ve also heard from so many women that they struggle with the same things and creatine has not been a positive thing for them. I think it’s important to remember: just because something is “popular” doesn’t mean it’s right for your body. Oh and let’s talk about my skin. Within a week of taking creatine, my acne flared up bad. I’m talking deep, hormonal breakouts that hadn’t shown up in forever. It was like my body was yelling, “This isn’t working for me!” I’m already working hard to balance my hormones naturally, so the last thing I needed was something that made my face angry and made me gain weight. No thank you. So yeah, I’m out. Give me gut health, hormone support, and something that actually helps my body let go of the weight not hold onto more. ✌🏼 Anyone else?? 👇 #hor#hormonehealthcre#creatinebloatgut#guthealthjourneyinf#inflammationissueswei#weightlossstrugglesnot#notformerea#reallifehealthfit#fitnesswithoutcreatinehor#hormonebalancehea#healyourbodynaturallyfit#fitmomtruthblo#bloatedanddoneper#perimenopauseweightgut#guthealingjourneynaturalweightloss

I haven’t tried creatine bc of these types of reviews! I’ve heard this way too many times to risk it

I was the same way. My face looked so bloated and I honestly felt worse. I gave it a good 6 months and I gave it up and feel and look so much better!

Could it be the brand you tried? I've heard that some brands tend to do that but other don't. I don't know though.

Sameeeee. I’ve been on it for 5 wks and my husband thinks it’s my workouts? Im like I don’t eat more, and I’m working out the same amount if not more regularly bc I’m not traveling for work. I was debating going down to 2.5g instead of 5g but I think I’m just gonna stop. My clothes are so tight 😩😩😩😩

I had the same experience and tried it for months. Severe cramping/bloating and no amount of water helped.
