Really? May I ask what brand you use? To tell the truth creatine mono (we are talking about mono, right?) is fairly neutral in taste. I have to wonder if it tastes THAT bad.

As far as diliting it that's exactly what you want in a way. You need lots of water with creatine. For one thing it brings water with it into the muscle. For another, your can think of it as something that sucks up water. If you don't take enougth water with it it will bring in water from the gut plus it will just set in your stomach. All of which leads to cramps and bloating.

The trick is, if you use it for pre-workout to take in enough liquid to be adequate but not so much that your stomach is full of water and that make you uncomfortable. And remember with mono you need some type of carrier like glucose....you need to take in high GI carbs with it for it to work but even just whey protein will work to a certain extent. I do both of course because that is all part of my pre and post shakes.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
