The Advice Guru Posts: 6419	I honestly think aloe is useless. Papaya purée there are studies that have proven it can actually heal ulcers, it also thickens the mucosal lining in the stomach. They say it is safe to use daily, but have not been able to find any long term studies relating to absorption. Green clay I have used on hind gut ulcers (suspected, not confirmed by vet) and had good results. They say that bentonite clay is actually better then green clay (sorry can't remember where I read this). The company that makes Redmond salt has a clay powder for ulcers Also milk of magnesia or something along the way would be good to use 20 min before saddling and 20 min before running. The last lecture I attended said this is the way to go once the ulcers have been resolved, you give 30-60ml each time. This has less long term effects then daily omeprazole.
