Ulcers are open sores along the inside lining of the digestive tract. You can get very fancy naming the ulcer according to where it is or the pattern of occurrence as in Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS), but I find all of that detail distracting. Ulcers are wounds, or sores, in the lining of the stomach or gut. That's it. Keeping it simple, and to the fundamentals, will help you get a good picture of what's going on and keep a clear head about what to do.

Who knows? The only way to formally diagnose ulcers is under direct visualization with a scope. And BTW, only a veterinarian can diagnose anything. If you need a formal diagnosis to move forward, then by all means, get one. But it's not necessary. There are lots of signs that your horse may have an ulcer or an early disruption in the gut lining that hasn't fully ulcerated yet but if left untreated will. Some of the signs you may see are; grumpy mood or change in usual mood, poor/unwillingness to do anything, biting at sides, reacting negatively when you put a saddle on or try to tighten the girth, poor appetite or discomfort after eating. Sometimes people just get a sense that something's going on in there.

But here's the thing... you don't have to have an actual diagnosis or firm conviction that your horse has an ulcer to utilize this protocol. Even if an ulcer is not there, the clay will not hurt your horse and can be quite helpful. In some ways, using this protocol can help you figure out what is wrong because if there are ulcers present, the clay will help, and if it doesn't, you should keep looking for another root cause of any symptoms you see.

I have a super short, easy protocol using natural clay to heal ulcers in horses. I teach that protocol, along with the information you need to get your horse off of the ulcer gerbil wheel, in my online program called the UGH Gut Solution (the name is an acronym for Understanding the horse's digestive system, Giving the right stuff in the right way, and Healing the gut for the long run).

You purchase the program ($149) and implement the protocol yourself. It's very easy to do but if you have questions you post them in our private 'UGHer' community and I answer them for you. You keep the program and access to the community forever. That's it.

There's no hard 'n fast rule about when you'll see results but I can tell you many people see changes in their horses within the first week. Regardless of how great your horse looks, you should maintain the protocol for the entire 30 days to be sure everything is fully healed.

I kinda don't like the word 'cure' because it seems like people often think once something is cured, that's it and they will never have the problem again. Having said that though, yes, if your horse has a disruption, or wound, in the lining of the digestive tract and you employ my protocol exactly as I teach it, the ulcer will be healed. Then though, it's important we understand why the ulcer happened in the first place and make whatever changes are necessary so another one doesn't develop. Or worse yet we get into a vicious cycle of developing and treating ulcers over and over. That's often where conventional medicine falls down and why there is such a high degree of recurrence when conventional medical treatment is used.

With the UGH Gut Solution I'll give you the exact recipe and instructions for healing the ulcers and what you need to do to be sure you don't get recurrence-and what to do if you think recurrence is or could be a problem.

Yes.

Despite the fact that we are dealing with live beings here (and there's no way to account for individual history, genetics and pasts) and I can't control whether you fully follow my instructions or not, I offer a 100 day, 100% money back guarantee. (You won't get that from any vet doing conventional treatment.) I do this because I want to help horses live better, healthier, happier lives in domestication and I'm not afraid to put my neck on the line to do it. Plus, the protocol works so I have nothing to worry about. Oh I know it's possible some unscrupulous horse owner out there will demand a refund even though it works, or they don't do what I teach, but that's a risk I'm willing to take. The horses are worth it and this protocol is just too good not to share.

I also know that you're more than a bit skeptical and nervous about trying something maybe a bit outside your comfort zone. This is my way of helping you take the leap of faith and help your horse.

Do the protocol exactly as I teach it, ask questions as needed, and we will have no need to discuss this any further because your horse's ulcer(s) will be healed.

Your UGH Gut Solution comes with a free on line community. Any and all questions should be posted in that group and I will personally answer them. If you forget the link to that group, or have any trouble logging in, you can email me directly at chris@chrishuppe.com.
