Does anybody else get bad stomache pains when taking creatine?

 

Also can someone explain how BMI has nothing to do with fitness?

 

BMI is a general measure of weather you're a healthy weight; it's nothing to do with fitness. It works for normal people or non-athletes. My BMI is 25.2, so I'm 'overweight', but I'm not fat in the slighest. I know a few people who you could class as being a bit 'porky', but can run miles and miles.

The BMI is designed to measure a sedentary population, and uses basic measures of height and mass without differentiating between the relative constituents of body mass (fat, bone, muscle, body fluids). So using it to evaluate a population that actively aims to increase muscle mass will simply skew the results - e.g. labels muscular individuals as identical as obese individuals, simply because they weigh the same.

As an anthropometric measure, it is quite poor in validity and reliability. But the fault lies usually in the improper matching of the instrument to the individual - assessment of body composition is much more effective via skin fold measurement, hydrostatic weighing (for the moderately scientific :p), or DEXA scan (for those who live in gold houses).

I was gunno order them last time but didnt bother as they probably work the same way.

 

Has anyone heard of tropicanafitness.com, they have some great products and good prices too.

 

I used to get dehydrated and stomach cramps aswell as bloating with creatine and was reluctant to try jre-alkalyn, i actually managed to blag a bottle and tried it, been using it now for 2 years with not one single problem.
