    i personally wouldn't take liquidex to reduce creatine bloat. just drink TONS of water, eat clean...if you are really concerned just stop taking it, but >>I<< wouldn't

      Its not a big deal, it WILL subside, you can take a natural diuretic, but I would leave it alone.

        l-dex would probably be a waste of money for creatine bloat as it usually expensive and besides it is used to reduce estrogen. Try using ALA, ginger root, or potassium.

          Creatine has nothing to do with estrogen so l-dex wouldn't reduce the bloat. Creatine will make you retain water no matter what. Just drink tons of water like iamcdn said to try and minimize it.

            how does water retention work? it seems weird to think that drinking a lot of water will reduce my bloat.

              By drinking more water,your flushing out the water you are retaining,sort of overflowing a glass.

                Works for me when I am on creatine.

                  yeah but when you overflow a glass, its still full. I don't like that analogy.

                    When you don't drink enough water your body saves all that it gets by storing it, retaining water. When you make sure that your body has enough water throughout the day it does not need to store as much water so it gets rid of it, retaining less water. You're still probalbly gonna be a little bloated because your body does not get rid of everything your drink but it'll be better than not drinking as much.
