creatine monohydrate does not remain stable in solution. it breaks down into the toxin creatinine which causes GI upset and as you have experienced will cause the bowels to purge.
you need to make your shake and drink it ASAP. most likely the flatulence is caused by the lactose from the whey. you may need to switch to a higher quality protein supplement that's made form whey protein isolates instead of a whey protein concentrate.

From experience, both whey protein and creatine caused gas. I never had problems with diarrhea from either one though. Beano helps with the gas.
