Does creatine make stomach appear fatter?

[Adam_david]

I was wondering if anyone had experienced a kinda disappearance of abs while on creatine? I know I have gained a small amount of weight but not enough for my abs to fly the coup this much

It makes you retain more water, surely that could affect the look of your abs.

stopped using creatine (again). I feel like i turn into a smooth blimp whenever I use it. I just feel bloated even though i might not look it. And I always notice my mid-section definition suffers.

Usually every year or so I get the urge to try again and end up with the same results.

U hold more water. It'll go when u stop. N in some cases calm down a tadd but everyone reacts differently one way or another

I had to stop using Creatine due to getting a horrible bloated stomach. I mean I was a balloon. I do just fine without it. Eat protein and take other vitamins and protein powder. ...crazy mike

It's most likely water. Sucks. There is different types of creatine. I've never been a big fan of it.

Yeah I don't use it often myself. Just a couple months out of the year. This is the first time I've been this lean when starting to use it tho. My abs we're vey visible. I know I gained a little weight back as I'm not eating restricted like I was on my cut phase but I was hoping I didn't lose my abs THAT much. Thanks guys
