Sarah Hi Sarah. If you are going to use creatine, use a liquid creatine. There are now specific formulas for women that decrease the amount of bloating.
Powders usually cause the most bloating.
I got a great result from a liquid creatine. It was amazing. I was much stronger and noticed a result within a week. You might want to go to a supplement store and talk to the sales person about which creatine formula would be best for you. I know several women who like using creatine.
