I've been considering using creatine again(about 5 yrs. ago), but I'm thinking that it might have been one of the things I was doing at that time to form kidney stones. Anyone else have problems with creatine?

Creatine in itself doesn't cause kidney stones. What happens is creatine absorbs water and many people take too much. When you take too much creatine on a daily basis you super dehydrate yourself which is what cause the kidney stones. If you take 5 grams of creatine a day you can get all the benefits without any problems.
