Acid Reflux/GERD and Creatine?

I can’t speak to the creatine, but my girl has had GERD all her life. It doesn’t affect it too much, there’s really only 2 things she does to control it

  1. Wait some time (45 min - 1 hr) between eating and laying down
  2. Not overeat and stuff herself

Neither of those is really a hindrance to her life. I can see the second being an issue if you’re bulking or if you IF.[/quote]

Cool man, thanks for sharing your experiences. I’m reluctant to immediately point the finger at GERD since I’ve only really had acute symptoms for a couple of weeks, but I was asthmatic as a kid and battled chronic sore throats a couple of years back, which went undiagnosed.

I really think, though, that whatever I have is exacerbated by eating a lot. I’m trying to get back on the gain train at the moment and was also eating a lot prior to my last competition… Will try to monitor this.
