creatine side effects?

[jerume]

i just got ast micronized creatine monohydrate and started my loading phase today,i started by taking 5gs with 8oz of water 5 times a day for 5 days it says,and boy did i feel sick today,i felt dizzy,upset stomach,headache,and just felt like crap!!!i've never heard of side effects from creatine,i drunk heapsa water all day long but still felt upset,after my workout i felt better though,i was just wondering if anyone else has experienced ssimilar or other side effects from using creatine in a loading phase or just maintenance?

I only feel sick when I take it on an empty stomach.

Yeah man when I eat it with food I'm fine, or after my workout with some simple carbs.
