What Causes Intense Stomach Pain And Passing Of Green Stool While On Creatine?

So lately I have had a relentless stomach ache that started 2 days ago after getting drunk, so it feels like a hangover that won t quit. I have been through about 2 gallons of water, and not a lot is becoming urine. My last bowel movement had green and white mold on it, or at least it appears so. I was worried about e coli, because I eat a lot of burger, but I also started taking creatine, which research has suggested may be the cause. But my stomach won t stop hurting and I feel nauseous 24-7.

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, creatine is a high energy phosphate used for variety of conditions that including athletic built purpose. The creatine has multiple side effects as:
- Upset stomach
- Nausea
- Dehydration
- Weight gain
- Raised heart beat like palpitations
- Headache
- Loose stools (including color change from altered flora of intestine)

Kindly stop further dose consumption of Creatine and get back to your doctor after 24 hours or early as per the demand of condition. Additional intake of a proton pump inhibitor as omeprazole or pantoprazole will help for sure on empty stomach.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
