Also, are there any estimated amounts of sports drinks and rolaids that will cause a specific gravity test to come in above the acceptable level, or is that somewhat difficult to do?

I don't want to get a substituted result by having the specific gravity above the limit...but I haven't seen any posts from people failing from that, either.

First thing....the creatine....I think I recall the suggestion of taking twice the amount given for loading process. If you start to get the poops, cut back on creatine. Otherwise, that should be fine.

It's hard to say how much rolaids/gatorade will increase SG. Just make sure you use a sports drink for the dilution and eat rolaids about every hour. Don't forget to drink some salty water/gatorade to increase your PH levels. The easiest way for me to down salt is mixing in a shot glass with warm water and just chugging it, follow by a drink of something better.

I was notified Friday that at some point next week I will have to get a Department of Transportation physical in order to operate a vehicle that is over a certain weight. Part of that physical means taking and passing a drug test. Part of me wants to beat this test and part of me wants to be up front about how much of an invasion of my privacy this is. I did not have to take a pre-employment drug test where I work now, but I Rating: 5
