Jus started taking whey protein and creatine monohydrate and immediatly started to get a headache. Was it from that or maybe just something else? Are There Any Side Affects When Taking Creatine Monohydrate? How about whey protein? Can any of these two items be bad for you in anyway??

I've heard some people get gassy from whey protien, but thats about it. I don't personally.
havent heard anything as far as creatine now.

When I first started taking in whey protein it made me gassy and my farts smelled rancid, but I think i've adjusted to it. I've never gotten any headaches from creatine; maybe you're dehydrated? Can't really think of any other explanation.

Maybe you have some shit quality creatine.
Whey gives some people gas, and Creatine Mono is said to cause bloating.

Yes creatine monohydrate will dehydrate you and could potentially cause headaches and muscle cramps. Keep your water up and you should be fine.
Protein farts are very common when you first start supplimenting with protein, but usually subside within a few weeks of using it. Just takes your body a few weeks to get used to digesting it is all.

So have all your friends had to adjust to your rancid farts as well?

If you were getting gas from protein it means you were probably taking in whey protein concentrate (or at least mostly, depends on what the company does) try and take a whey isolate(make sure its all a whey isolate) and i bet you wont get that gas.
And also if you are getting headaches from taking those supps, protein and creatine can dehydrate you if you dont take in enough water...so drink enough water and i bet your headaches will go away.

When using BSN's Mass Stack I got headaches for a while even when drinking a lot of water, so sometimes it's something out of your control. You also shouldn't be exposed to excessive heat because even when drinking enough water and I think that's what caused it some of the time.

I swear this happens so much with people who take in products that are mostly whey protein concentrate, try an isolate and you will much better.

Dude...what kind of creating are you drinking? How long have you been drinking it and getting headaches from it. There are no side effects from Creatine or especially protein. If you keep getting headaches then just stop using it. Other than that there are no reasons. I have never heard of such a thing. Oh, and dont buy Xyience....its not all that. If you want some good creating, buy Cell Tech's creatine....
