Now, I used to do a weight gainer shake in the morning, and a protein shake w/ glutamine post-workout. If I add in creatine as was suggested, do I still need the weight gainer shake in the morning? If so, what brand/product should I try (couldn't find it on the site...)

Creatine isnt a weight gainer, so it has nothing to do with that. A lot of dieting athletes take creatine to maintain muscle while shedding the fat. Anyhow, just make sure to note that when taking glutamine and creatine:
DONT TAKE THEM TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME!. You will have to take them at totally seperate times due to the fact that they compete for absorption (you wont get an effective effect from either). I would suggest taking the glutamine pre-workout and the creatine post workout. Before going to bed, take another 4 or 5 grams of glutamine.
As far as ordering off the site, do you not have any health stores near you? You will save a lot of money buying it without having to pay shipping costs etc.
*Another important fact to know when taking creatine is that you will have to stop drinking caffeine. Research has found that it drastically hinders the effect of the creatine and essentially you will just be pissing it down the toilet. Drink lots of water while on this supp for best results.
