Diarrhea after abdominal training. Why does diarrhea occur from sports nutrition: protein, gainer, fat burners? After exercise, intestines hurt


Professional skills: Colon hydrotherapy, treatment of gastrointestinal diseases

Protein, which is the main building material for cells, is required in large quantities by people involved in sports. It is not always possible to satisfy this need with regular products, so athletes often resort to special protein supplements. But, in addition to the positive effect, unpleasant symptoms such as diarrhea from protein may also occur.

Causes of diarrhea

There is no means of stimulating muscle function that athletes do not use. Protein supplements are one of them. The reason is simple: purified mixtures are absorbed much faster and almost entirely, and allow you to get a large amount of protein without the obligatory share of fats.

It would seem that if a product is easily and quickly absorbed, it should not in any way impede the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. In fact, almost every athlete experiences intestinal or stomach upsets when they start taking protein.

The reasons why diarrhea occurs when using protein are very simple:

  • The human body can only absorb the amount of food it can digest. This requires special enzymes, as well as bacteria that inhabit the intestines. If there are not enough of them to digest the resulting protein, some of it will not be absorbed. Undigested food causes diarrhea.
  • Protein absorption normally falls within a certain time frame. If during this period the proteins have undergone only partial processing, the remainder is used as food by putrefactive bacteria, which mainly inhabit the large intestine. In this case, flatulence, high blood pressure, and diarrhea with an extremely unpleasant odor appear.
  • Another possible reason is individual intolerance to any component. In such cases, you should simply find a mixture that does not include this ingredient.

If there is a deficiency of digestive enzymes, it is better to avoid proteins and any other concentrated supplements.

Protein

By protein we mean a pure protein mixture with a minimum content of carbohydrates and fats. It is made from products of plant and animal origin: eggs, milk, cottage cheese, soybeans, even wheat. A mandatory requirement for any composition: the presence of essential amino acids.

There are several types of protein mixture:

  • Complex protein . Contains both “fast” proteins, that is, those that provide a peak concentration of amino acids 30-40 minutes after consumption, and “slow” proteins. This mixture causes the maximum possible anabolic response and at the same time provides muscle nutrition for 8-10 hours.
  • Slow . Absorbed within 6-8 hours. This quality is due to slow absorption in the intestines. The mixture is least likely to cause diarrhea, since it does not require a high concentration of food enzymes.
  • Fast protein - whey . This is a liquid composition obtained from whey. Absorbs very quickly, reaching maximum concentration of amino acids within 1 hour after consumption. Taking these supplements helps you gain muscle mass quickly.

Diarrhea after protein can occur when consuming any version of the mixture. The point is not in its origin, but in the degree of purification and the capabilities of the athlete’s digestive system.

Swimming

Problems

The most common problems with the digestive system in swimmers are:

  • abdominal cramps
  • belching
  • bloating
  • nausea

Some swimmers forget to exhale when diving with their heads. Having emerged, they are forced to exhale and inhale very quickly. As a result, the likelihood of involuntary swallowing of air and even water increases. Filling the stomach with air leads to belching, and swallowing water can lead to abdominal cramps.

Reducing speed and turning over on your back will help get rid of nausea and abdominal cramps, since most unpleasant digestive symptoms when swimming occur while lying on your stomach. You can also try swimming for a while with your head constantly above the water, that is, without temporary immersion, as required by the standard style of swimming breaststroke, crawl and other styles.

If belching or bloating occurs, leave the pool and perform a short session of special breathing techniques. Carminative drugs will also help (if a single problem occurs), helping to reduce the formation of gases in the gastrointestinal tract and removing them from the body.

Prevention

  • Practice your breathing technique. Proper technique allows you to more efficiently obtain oxygen while swimming while avoiding swallowing air and water. When you come out of the water to inhale, turn your head to the side rather than forward, this will reduce the risk of swallowing water. Underwater, do not hold your breath, but slowly exhale until your mouth reaches the surface.
  • Wear a swimming cap. This is especially important when swimming in open waters; this approach reduces waves hitting the head, causing disorientation and swallowing water and air.

Creatine

Creatine is one of the most important pharmaconutrients. This is a nitrogenous compound that is not a protein, but is an essential part of sports nutrition.

The substance is produced by the liver and pancreas. 95% of the compound in the form of phosphocreatine is found in muscle tissue. For muscles to work under high load, high-speed ATP resynthesis is required. This is what phosphocreatine provides. When it is exhausted, maintaining maximum effort becomes impossible.

Important! Creatine supplementation may improve endurance performance during maximal exercise. It makes sense to drink dietary supplements during high-intensity anaerobic training.

Diarrhea from creatine is rare and is usually associated not with the substance itself, but with impurities or insufficient purification.

Gainers

Gainer is a mixture that contains proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Its main task is to quickly replenish the energy expended during training. The gainer is intended for athletes exposed to prolonged aerobic exercise: for football players, for track and field athletes. Mixtures are popular among those who want to quickly build muscle mass, but initially have a thin physique.

The rich composition of such a cocktail allows you to close the protein-carbohydrate window, prevent catabolic processes, and restore energy reserves. However, diarrhea after taking a gainer most often occurs precisely because of its diverse composition.

Side effects from taking nutritional supplements

Side effects may occur after taking any supplements. Proteins are no exception.

Side effects include:

  • Diarrhea . A fairly common complication when consuming protein. Sometimes diarrhea is caused not by the composition of the protein mixture, but by the additive as a new product. The digestive tract needs to get used to it. Diarrhea occurs most often from gainers, and least often from whey hydroisolate.
  • Bloating and flatulence . Diarrhea is accompanied by flatulence with a very unpleasant odor. It is caused by the process of decay of undigested protein in the large intestine.
  • Nausea . Athletes often complain of nausea that occurs immediately after taking the supplement and is observed within 20-30 minutes.
  • Hypertension . Sometimes proteins provoke an increase in blood pressure.
  • Headache . Under certain conditions, pain in the head occurs, sometimes severe.

Important! If the listed symptoms affect the quality of work and life, the additive must be replaced.

As with any form of diarrhea, you should stay hydrated if you have runner's diarrhea.

  • severe headache that comes on suddenly
  • fainting or loss of consciousness
  • bloody or black stools
  • diarrhea that lasts 24 hours or more {amp}gt; OutlookOutlook
  • By experimenting with what you eat and what time of day you run, you can stop runner's diarrhea while running. Always be careful about dehydration. Sweat you lose over a long period of time, in addition to diarrhea, can increase your risk of losing too much fluid. If you've tried changing your diet and your exercise habits and you continue to experience runner's diarrhea, you may need to talk to a nutritionist or sports medicine specialist.

How to get rid of such diarrhea

If diarrhea occurs after eating protein, it is not necessary to immediately stop using the protein mixture. However, some measures need to be taken.

  • It is worth reducing the daily dose of protein. It is usually recommended to take up to 30 g at a time. If the protein causes diarrhea, the dose is reduced to 20 or even 15 g.
  • When it comes to enzyme deficiency, you need to use probiotics or enzyme preparations (Pancreatin or Abomin) with sports supplements.
  • If diarrhea does not disappear, take standard medications for diarrhea: Smecta, Loperamide.
  • If you have lactase deficiency, you should not drink proteins or gainers that include milk sugar.

The harm and benefits of protein

Protein, like all other sports nutrition products, is surrounded by numerous myths and human speculation. Most people who do not understand medicine equate it to anabiotic steroids, which cause significant harm to human health. There are rumors that side effects from consuming protein may include addiction, deterioration of potency, and pathologies of the liver and kidneys. All these speculations have nothing to do with reality. Protein is not one of the drugs harmful to health and can be freely consumed without harm to health. What is this bold statement based on?

Technically, protein is pure protein, which is the main building material for the human body. Modern food mainly consists of unhealthy saturated fats and carbohydrates. A person who engages in active physical activity does not receive a large amount of protein. They are found in meat foods, but they are quite difficult to digest, so consuming them in large quantities is extremely undesirable. Proteins come to the aid of all sports fans - refined, high-protein foods that are easily digestible by the body. They are made from milk, soy and eggs using special purification, so the only contraindication to their use is individual intolerance to individual components.

However, numerous sports forums contain complaints that novice athletes experience stomach pain and profuse diarrhea when consuming protein foods. Why does this happen and how to get rid of this unpleasant manifestation?

The effect of physical activity on the gastrointestinal system

Diarrhea and exercise

Case Study - Diarrhea and Exercise

In preparation for the upcoming competition, the 23-year-old long-distance runner increased his weekly distance from 40km to 80km. In the last 2 weeks. he experienced bouts of diarrhea after daily runs or approximately 1 hour after a grueling fast run. In the last week he has had stomach cramps, flatulence and frequent loose stools, and in one case, melena.

The athlete did not have any health problems in the past. None of his close relatives suffered from intestinal diseases. The results of the physical examination were within normal limits.

Irritable bowel syndrome;

Gluten sensitivity and primary lactose deficiency;

A more thorough examination was carried out. Blood and urine tests, as well as electrolytes, were normal. The kidneys and liver functioned normally. Stool tests for culture and helminthic infestation were negative.

Infectious gastroenteritis is quite common in athletes who travel a lot. Symptoms include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, malaise and anorexia.

Viral gastroenteritis usually has an abrupt onset. The only treatment is to drink fluids containing small amounts of carbohydrates and electrolytes - hydration. Hydration status can be determined by body weight, urine output, or skin turgor.

To resume exercise, body weight loss should not exceed optimal values. It is recommended to consume liquid in small quantities, while avoiding drinks containing caffeine, alcohol and acetylsalicylic acid. As the condition improves, more complex carbohydrates, proteins and fats are included in the diet.

Bacterial gastroenteritis can also have an abrupt onset, but only a bacterial stool culture can confirm the diagnosis. For some types of bacterial gastroenteritis, certain types of antibiotics are used, for example, ciprofloxacin or norfloxacin. Antimotility agents such as loperamide may provide some relief for severe cramping diarrhea, but they may prolong carriage of the bacteria and should be used with caution.

Sometimes the cause of intestinal disease can be Giardia. Diagnosis is made based on stool analysis. Tinidazole or metronidazole is used for treatment.

Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by pain in the lower abdomen, alternating constipation and diarrhea. This disease is called spastic colitis. There is a close relationship between this disorder and a more pronounced intestinal response to psychological stress. Because competition is a stressful situation, it may trigger symptoms in athletes with a history of the disorder.

Primary lactose deficiency causes stomach cramps, flatulence, bloating and diarrhea even after drinking small amounts of milk or dairy products. These symptoms occur because lactose, which is not hydrolyzed into glucose and galactose, cannot be absorbed by the intestinal mucosa.

Diarrhea can also occur as a result of emotional stress. In various emotional states, intestinal hyperfunction (spasm or hyperperistalsis), hypofunction (stasis), hypokinesia, or a combination of these may occur. Scientists estimate that 50% of complaints ultimately arise from psychological factors.

Ischemic colitis is characterized by cramping pain in the abdomen and bloody diarrhea. Due to the high sympathetic tone during exercise, mesenteric blood flow can be reduced by up to 80% at peak effort.

Runners trots most often occur after an unusually intense effort, during long-distance running at increasing speeds, or after training sessions lasting more than 1 hour. Increased parasympathetic tone or marked ischemia may be the likely mechanisms of their occurrence.

In our example, the diagnosis was Runners trots. After 1 week, during which the athlete did not run, he was advised to resume running sessions with a maximum duration of 30 minutes every other day, 3 times a week. He experienced minor bouts of diarrhea, which soon disappeared completely.

Why does protein cause diarrhea?

The causes of diarrhea after using protein have been studied in sufficient detail. When you consume mass gainers and other products containing protein, a huge amount of protein enters your digestive system.

It reacts with bacteria that form the basis of intestinal microflora. At the same time, numerous processes of putrefaction and protein decomposition occur in the intestines. Abundant gas is released, the stool becomes liquefied, and diarrhea appears. In addition to diarrhea, protein may cause other unpleasant consequences. These include:

  • profuse flatulence;
  • headache;
  • deterioration in general health;
  • high blood pressure.

These symptoms are familiar to many athletes and can cause a lot of inconvenience. What to do in such a situation, if you have absolutely no desire to give up active sports?

Natural remedies that normalize digestion

Below are natural remedies that can help restore the balance in your digestive system that has been disrupted by exercise. These beneficial herbal remedies are available in supplement form, but are best consumed as tea.

Try chamomile tea, which has anti-inflammatory properties and is great to drink at night. This plant has a calming effect on the entire digestive tract.

Nausea

Try brewing ginger root. This plant suppresses stomach cramps and promotes digestion.

For some digestive problems, it is useful to consume mint. This plant contains menthol, which helps control muscle spasms in the digestive tract that lead to pain and diarrhea.

If the problem is isolated, then the advice from the article will be useful to you. Persistent digestive problems should be addressed with a specialist. Make an appointment with our gastroenterologist as soon as possible.

How to get rid of such diarrhea?

Diarrhea resulting from protein is not only an unpleasant symptom.

Along with feces, a large amount of nutrients are washed out of the body, which makes protein consumption almost completely useless.

That is why this side effect must be eliminated as quickly as possible. To get rid of the many symptoms caused by excessive protein consumption, you must:

  1. Reduce the amount of protein you consume. To reduce the side effect, you need to consume no more than 30 grams at a time. The daily norm is limited to 300 grams of the substance. If this amount causes diarrhea, it is necessary to reduce the single dose to 20 grams.
  2. You can dilute your protein intake with fermented products. They stimulate the pancreas, which begins to quickly break down protein into amino acids. Thus, the blood will be saturated with nutrients much faster, and the amount of gas when receiving them will be significantly reduced. The most suitable drugs would be Abomin and Pancreatin, which contain a large amount of protease.
  3. Try taking probiotics. They improve the microflora of the digestive tract, thereby allowing the breakdown of proteins more efficiently.
  4. Use lactose-free protein. Many people have an intolerance to this substance of dairy origin, which often causes diarrhea.

Why is this disease dangerous?

The main danger that occurs with diarrhea is dehydration. The fact is that a large amount of liquid is exported from the human body along with feces.

And if loose stool occurs along with vomiting, then the body becomes dehydrated twice as fast.

In addition, along with feces, a large amount of vitamins and microelements necessary for the body to function normally are released from the stomach.

Often, diarrhea that occurs after prolonged consumption of protein is accompanied by an increase in blood pressure. A person suffering from hypertension becomes anxious.

His level of excitability increases. Also, with this disease, a person cannot fall asleep. That is why, before consuming protein, you must carefully study the instructions.

What is sports nutrition?

Sports nutrition consists of following a special diet, consuming special dietary supplements aimed at meeting the needs of adults actively involved in various sports and fitness.

The main goal of such nutrition is to increase the endurance and strength of athletes and their athletic achievements. Taking nutritional supplements helps normalize metabolic processes, improve health, achieve your goals - build muscle or lose weight and shape the body.

The main biological supplements in sports nutrition include:

  • proteins - proteins;
  • gainers - carbohydrate mixtures with the addition of proteins;
  • fat burners;
  • creatine;
  • vitamin and mineral supplements;
  • preparations for strengthening joints.

Many athletes cannot do without protein, but few know what this substance is.

It is a protein that is a building material for the growth and development of muscle cells.

As the body digests protein, it breaks down into amino acids that are involved in the formation of muscle tissue.

Also, these amino acids take an active part in the functioning of human internal organs.

Protein is actively consumed by athletes, especially those involved in weightlifting. Also, the use of protein helps to get rid of excess weight. Even doctors recommend taking it for weight loss.

Why? The fact is that this protein allows you to saturate the body with useful substances even if a person consumes a small amount of food.

Power training

Problems

Some people hold their breath when bending over a weight to lift it. This puts pressure on the stomach and can cause heartburn and indigestion. This is why people who lift weights, such as powerlifters, are more likely to experience heartburn than those involved in other sports.

How to fight

Drinking a couple of sips of water can help relieve heartburn during exercise. Also, in consultation with a gastroenterologist, it is possible to take a remedy for heartburn.

If you experience indigestion during exercise, you should stop exercising and take medications. containing enzymes. The drugs are suitable for a specific case; if indigestion constantly appears during sports activities, you should consult a specialist.

Prevention

  • Practice breathing techniques when lifting weights. Raising the weight should be accompanied by exhalation, and lowering the weight should be accompanied by inhalation.
  • Sleep on an inclined plane. Sometimes an additional pillow helps, but in case of problems with the spine, another method is necessary.
  • Limit the size of your dinner, try not to eat late. Digestion slows down during sleep, so a heavy late dinner can lead to heartburn during a morning workout.
  • Avoid foods that cause heartburn. These include chocolate, citrus fruits, coffee, mint and onions.

Causes of diarrhea

Basically, digestive disorders occur when consuming creatine in large volumes (more than 3-5 g per day). Modern research has shown that large doses of creatine consumed during the loading phase are ineffective.

In order to allow muscles to contract, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) must separate the phosphate groups, leaving behind ADP (adenosine diphosphate). The hitch is that our body does not have the prerequisites to use ADP to release energy.

What is the solution to this problem? ADP releases phosphate from your body's creatine phosphate (PCr) reserves to form more ATP. Taking creatine promotes the accumulation of creatine and the availability of PCr in the body, which accelerates the formation of ATP.

The bottom line: The more creatine phosphate (PCr) you contain, the more you can accomplish before fatigue sets in.

When taken properly and through a systematic approach, creatine has the potential to become one of the most powerful and effective sports supplements for gaining muscle mass (fat-free), improving body composition (physical appearance), strength and high-intensity activity.

However, myths and misinformation about possible side effects and safety of use still haunt such a dietary supplement as creatine. Is creatine safe? Does it cause weight gain? Is it harmful to the kidneys?

If you're eager to gain clarity on these questions and solutions to these problems, you've come to the right place. Here are 6 common myths about creatine and the real truth behind them.

The mechanism of development of the problem

Gastrointestinal disorders are widespread in the population and affect approximately 60% of athletes involved in competitive sports. The nature of gastrointestinal disorders depends on the type of sport, the athlete’s condition, the severity of the load and other factors.

Nausea and vomiting are common complaints among athletes. They can be caused by simple overtraining or some serious disorder such as anxiety, heat injury, hypoglycemia, or traumatic brain injury. In women, pregnancy must be excluded. If all causes except overtraining are excluded, rest and rehydration are prescribed (even IV, when the athlete cannot take fluids orally). In severe cases, it is also advisable to prescribe antiemetics - prochlorperazine, trimethobenzamide, chlorpromazine.

Studies have shown that heavy physical activity can cause reflux esophagitis even in healthy people. In general, dysfunction of the lower visceral sphincter appears to be characteristic of runners and swimmers. Despite the lack of serious research on the treatment of exercise reflux esophagitis, it is believed that most young people with complaints of heartburn and belching of air and food can be treated without further examination.

They start by limiting food intake in the immediate hours before sports activities, eliminating from the diet foods that slow down gastric emptying (fatty foods), and prescribing antacids that do not contain magnesium. If this is not enough, H2-blockers are indicated, and in persistent cases, H,K-ATPase inhibitors may be required. If complaints persist or are not quite typical (for example, dysphagia or weight loss), additional examination is necessary.

Athletes are very familiar with short-term but severe pain in the hypochondrium. The cause of this pain is unknown; The pain may be due to gas accumulation, ischemia, or muscle spasm. Most often, runners complain of pain in the hypochondrium. The pain intensifies with deep breathing and subsides with rest. The frequency of attacks usually decreases as endurance develops. An examination is usually not required unless the pain is persistent.

Some of the most common and unpleasant disturbances during endurance activities are cramps, defecation urgency, diarrhea and fecal incontinence. It is believed that the movement of intestinal contents can begin from prolonged shaking while running. So-called runner's diarrhea often occurs during or immediately after heavy physical activity.

Initial treatment involves dietary changes (eg, limiting foods rich in lactose and fructose). If, despite excluding other causes - infection, irritable bowel syndrome, malabsorption, colon cancer - and changes in diet, diarrhea persists, antidiarrheals can be prescribed 1 hour before exercise.

It has been shown that approximately 20% of marathon runners have occult blood in their stool after competition, but in general, gastrointestinal bleeding is relatively rare in healthy athletes. A positive guaiac test after endurance events has been reported in many cases to be a result of NSAID use, although there are no studies to support this.

Different types of training actively load certain muscle groups, for example, when running, the quadriceps are actively loaded. A kind of competition arises between muscles and internal organs for blood flow. Since the needs of muscles for oxygen and nutrients are higher than those of internal organs, during intense running up to 80% of the blood flow can be directed to the legs.

The risk of unpleasant consequences increases if you eat food immediately before training. Everyone chooses the right time for themselves: some can comfortably exercise a quarter of an hour after eating, while others should eat at least 2 hours before training. The higher the intensity of the load, the more blood is redirected from the digestive system to the muscles, which also affects the occurrence of pain in the abdomen.

Does the above mean you need to give up intense training? Absolutely not, you just need to take into account a number of important recommendations to reduce the risks of problems with the digestive tract. In general, there is a lot of individuality in this issue; you need to learn to feel your body and monitor its reaction to different types of stress and food. Below are general guidelines for avoiding problems common to the most popular sports.

Treating diarrhea with antibiotics

The use of antibiotics is necessary to treat many serious infectious diseases.

Despite their great popularity, the use of these drugs is often accompanied by side effects.

In most cases they are associated with the gastrointestinal tract. Treatment with antibacterial drugs can provoke functional disorders of the digestive system such as nausea, constipation, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Diarrhea from the use of antibiotics is caused by both the chemical composition of these drugs and their mechanism of action.

Cycling

Problems

Heartburn is quite common among cyclists and is caused by leaning the body forward while riding. Cross-country bicycles are becoming increasingly popular in our country; most people have already switched to this type of cycling equipment. The design of these types of bicycles is based on a lowered handlebar and a raised saddle.

Therefore, the cyclist’s body tilt is very significant; this increases pressure on the stomach and intestines, which leads to heartburn. Symptoms of indigestion include abdominal pain, heaviness and bloating. Indigestion among cyclists most often occurs due to lack of time to digest food before cycling. During physical activity, the body works to supply blood to the muscles, rather than the digestive organs, which leads to unpleasant sensations.

How to fight

If heartburn occurs, bend forward as much as possible. Ideally, you should take a short break, take a strictly vertical position, or simply walk with the bike for a few minutes. It is important not to consume water or food until your heartburn symptoms end, otherwise you risk making them worse.

Enzyme preparations that will help speed up the breakdown of food will help with indigestion. Hot chamomile or mint tea will also relieve symptoms.

Prevention

  • If you are prone to heartburn, then it would be a good idea to take a heartburn medication on the road. Of course, you should not overuse over-the-counter heartburn medications; they have significant side effects. If such problems occur regularly, you should contact a gastroenterologist, who will help you adjust drug treatment and give recommendations regarding nutrition and exercise regimen.
  • Work on your posture while riding. Try to keep your back straight, not arched. This will reduce pressure on the internal organs. Make sure the saddle and handlebars are at the correct height. There are specific guidelines for cyclists on this issue, use them if necessary.
  • Be careful with what you eat while cycling. Energy bars and sports snacks are quite popular among cyclists. Unfortunately, some people become addicted to them and consume excessive amounts of food while riding, which leads to digestive problems. If the workout lasts less than an hour, then it is better not to eat any snacks at all. When exercising for more than 60 minutes, you should consume 200 to 300 calories every hour in the form of sports drinks, bars, and snacks. This must be done, since the reserves of glycogen (“fuel” for muscles) in the body are depleted after long workouts, and the breakdown of fats does not have time to compensate for the energy needs of the athlete.
  • To prevent indigestion, you should chew food thoroughly: solid food - from 30 to 40 times, soups, purees and cereals - at least 10 times. Allow enough time to eat, do not be distracted by conversations or extraneous activities. Snacking while driving also adversely affects the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract; it is better to stop and find a quiet place to eat.

Creatine: harm and side effects of use

1 The most important and reliable side effect of using creatine

Despite the fact that there are many myths on this subject, sometimes anecdotal, the only side effect from the use of creatine that has been reliably confirmed many times is an increase in body weight due to the growth of muscle mass (1, 2, 3, 7, 8). Scientists confirm an increase of 0.9 to 1.7 kg.

This side effect is desirable for some sports (bodybuilding, American football players). For others it may be negative (wrestlers, weightlifters) who may fall out of their weight class when their weight changes as a result of taking creatine.

What causes weight gain as a result of taking creatine?

There are two assumptions:

  • creatine promotes water retention in muscles;
  • muscle mass increases directly.

Scientists cannot yet give a definite answer. Some evidence suggests that both options may work.

What other negative consequences can protein cause?

  • Severe headaches.
  • Feeling unwell. The person feels weak.
  • Bloating (flatulence).
  • Increased blood pressure (hypertension).

If the manifestation of these symptoms affects a person’s productivity, he should seek help from a doctor.

It is possible that such symptoms are not associated with the use of this substance and are provoked by individual diseases.

In this case, the person should urgently undergo a medical examination to determine the cause of his illness.

After this, qualified specialists will tell him about possible treatment methods aimed at eliminating the manifestation of these symptoms.

Review

Runner's diarrhea, also called "runner's colitis" and "runner's rash", refers to a condition that affects runners during and after a run.
Long-distance runners (those who run 3 miles or more at a given time) are most likely to experience runner's diarrhea during and immediately after your run. While doctors aren't entirely sure why it happens, there are ways to identify and manage runner's diarrhea.

Harm of creatine and side effects

Does creatine have contraindications and side effects? Yes, they are inherent in all sports nutrition. Although, if we talk about a drug like creatine, side effects are minimal. Let’s say right away that there are no irreversible side effects from taking creatine. Other negative influences are transitory in nature, their frequency of occurrence is 3–4%.

The harmful effects of creatine on the body have been examined in numerous studies, which conclude that the product has a high level of safety. Moreover, it was found that the substance has a beneficial effect on the duration and quality of life in old age.

During testing, an increased dosage of the substance was used (up to 25 g/day); the effect of creatine did not provoke negative results in the subjects.

Possible side effects are listed on the packaging. Below are the side effects that the supplement causes.

But it should be taken into account that unpleasant sensations may develop in the body not so much because of creatine itself, but because of the presence of impurities in the composition. Each manufacturer creates a special formula and includes a wide variety of substances: vasoactive amino acids, sugar, flavorings, etc. The article will discuss exclusively the negative effects of pure creatine monohydrate.
