creatine = lower back pain?

[Logan13]

I quit taking creatine about 5 years ago because it gave me that bloated look in the face, but recently my wife bought me some mono-creatine. I decided to use it again and I have been on it 2 weeks now. My lower back, not muscular, has been ache and I have had the shits for about 3 days along with gas pains. Could this be the creatine or am I just being paranoid?

Serious though, I have never heard of getting the shits from Creatine.

ive not heard of this issue before with mono. has your diet changed at all? it could be some sort of placebo stress related thing.

Try increasing your water intake. Also throw in some more potassium into your diet to help with the back pain.
