Creatine for Fatigue?


Ennis-TX

Recommended Posts

Ennis-TX Grand Master

So I started taking Creatine to boost my workout performance and muscle mass building, it is like someone entered the god code on life. Used to be I got tired after 3-4 sets. Now I am sitting here an hour later 12-15 sets and still not feeling tired and pushing further while gaining muscles.

This had me wondering, could this help the average joe or jane suffering from chronic fatigue and feeling tired. I use B-vitamins, caffeine, vitamin D, magnesium also, and my mental energy has been well for years with them and the Keto diet. But this....this just took the body fatigue I used to get and trashed it. I sorta expect a crash, I mean 20miles+ a day, 1-2hours resistance and weight training. I think my fitness monitor would freak out most. But  I feel great like I am alive again.

How long have you been doing this? And what kind of creatine( capsules, brand)?

Before trying this, may I suggest getting your thyroid checked?  I was slowing down and not feeling 100%.   My recent lab reports indicate that I am hypothyroid again.  My thyroid dosage had to be increased.  Previously, I had been on my current dosage for almost five years.  

Just a thought.

Been doing it for a week now, I am trying doctors best and got a deal on some from Vitacost both in capsule form to avoid the crap they put in the other forms I found it available. I am actually using both one in the morning one in the afternoon. Might not work for everyone but I am seeing why many bodybuilders swear by it in the gym. I just figured if it might help people that get muscle fatigue easily with daily life.

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
