I am 21 years old and my gym trainer suggested me to take creatine with more water intake, as I am very skinny and underweight, is it safe for me to take creatine? And I took creatine for 2 days and i'm experiencing going urine often since i'm drinking more water and also little bit burning sensation on right side of my stomach, is it safe?

Dear lybrate-user, I would never suggest creatine at 42 kg weight. Creatine can cause intestinal ulceration to people with low body weight. Abdominal pain and diarrhoea is usual side effects. I suggest you try to gain naturally, trust me, it’s easier. Try to focus on large muscle groups such as back and glutes. (avoid biceps curls) chew your food properly. Get enough sunlight. Sleep for atleast 8 hours at night. You may add l glutamine, as it repairs stomach and intestine for any damage caused by creatine. Minimise stress, buy a pair of dumbbells and train at home.
