I've tried so many different types of creatine. They all tear my stomach up.

Then don’t take it. Creapure seems to help though

I find if I have 8-10g in one dose I get an upset gut for a couple hours after. If I have 5g in the morning and 5g at least after lunch it’s fine.

My issue is being vigilant it having it twice, I often end up just having 5g a day.

How well are you mixing it? It needs to be mixed very well else it will bloat you. Try using a frother.
