I just started taking creating yesterday, last night my stomach was feeling so bad, it was like i would throw up any second. Is my body getting used to it or is there like something wrong with the creatine

Are you drinking enough water? Creatine needs alot of water to benefit and if you don't get enough, you aren't going to feel real well. Drink at LEAST a gallon a day, 1 1/2 would be even better.

If i take creatine straightup without some sort of food(or protein powder) the same thing happens to my stomach.

10 standard 8oz cups is five pints or two and half quarts; if they're the 10oz glasses, then it's about .78 gallon - in either case, far short of the gallon to gallon and a half recommended above.

you need to be drinking at least 16 8oz cups or 13 10oz cups.

better yet, get yourself one of those quart-sized sports bottle, fill it, then just sip it through the day.
