Who has opinions about GUT X? What has it addressed, if you e used it? Where has it failed you?
Iāve been using it. Funny thereās another thread on it too with recent updates.
Anyway, FWIW, my experience has been positive. Originally I put my mare on it as a ācanāt hurt might helpā thing. People would ask me if I saw a difference and Iād shrug because I didnāt think her tummy was a problem anyhow, and her joints I use Adequan for.
Then we moved barns. At the time (early October) sheād been off the Gut X for about 3 mos. When I moved her she just didnāt seem okay. I know it was a shock for both of us, but she seemed to have trouble settling. I reordered the Gut X. Within 2 weeks at the loading dose, she had perked back up. I changed nothing else. So in my opinion, it works.

I think it has been helping my mare. I havenāt had her scoped because she didnāt have outward signs of ulcers (coat, weight, reactivity), but she would tend to get tight around her ribs and pissy about my leg and not wanting to go forward under saddle. So I did about the same as Obsidian and gave it a try just to see. Within about a week she was happier to go forward and much more accepting of my leg. That was early December. I also put my other mare on it just to see, but didnāt notice any difference for her, so I took her off after a month. Iāve kept Mare #1 on the 2-pump dose, which seems to be more like 1.5 oz based on the rate the jugs are being used up. She is also probably pushing 1500#, so I donāt want to risk taking her down to 1 pump, which is supposed to deliver an ounce.
My horses live on it and Iāve seen very good results with it.
Itās inexpensive enough that I consider it more preventative maintenance than an active treatment, but it has helped my horses with active ulcers be more comfortable. At $179 for about 5 months worthā¦canāt beat the price.
Didnāt work at all for my mare. Maybe she didnāt have gut issues after all though!
Iāve liked it and will always pay for it before doing Gastroguard. In the cases where I havenāt seen improvement, I add Succeed (hind-gut) and almost always see positive change immediately with that combo.

Iāve been giving it to one in my barn with no changes, it came very highly recommended by a friend. No changes at all for my horse, continued to get worse under saddle. Gave him three days of ulcergard (full tube) and had a completely different horse. Now heās on succeed, purina outlastā¦and still the Gut X (because I bought two gallons!). And doing great. I do not really attribute it to the Gut X though. So it doesnāt work on some horses. Just my opinon. 
I had several horses on it for 6 months. I didnāt see any difference. I was up to 8 oz per day, split into 2 meals. I even tried the Joint X. that i did notice a difference in a mare, but not enough that i couldnāt put her one something from the vet that i KNOW works
You should not give Gastrogard for 3 days full tuna and stop. The rebound will kill him and you are on a viscous cycle. Do a full treatment, gradually taper off and put him on Relyne. Yes it cost more than GutX, but has a higher quantity of the ingredients of GutX.
Cutting down in ingredients is how GutX reduces the price.
I have a 20yo thoroughbred, anxious and ulcer prone. Did the full course of Gastrogard, scoped him and moved on. 3 months later he is back in bad shape. I started him on Relyne on the losing dose. Iām just one week heās chases me for food, he is back on his hay and I feel I am getting my horse back. Can not wait to see him after 30 days.
Sometime the savings are not worth the viscous cycles we put ourselves and our horses through.
Not in the slightest. It already takes a few days for omeprazole to really get into full swing. Stopping cold turkey after only 3 days isnāt going to ākillā him.

I laughed. āNewā poster being a bit dramatic. lol
My gelding had hind gut ulcers. Hagyard Relyne was a miracle cure!
Given the price I have switched to GutX for maintenance. So far, so good. 
My horse has been on gut x for almost a year and has had been scoped and confirmed ulcers twice. Actually going through treatment now. Heās not the only one in the barn with ulcers that has been on the stuff.
Just a PSA on ordering GutX. I ordered 2 gallons this morning for $179. After checkout I was offered to add two more gallons for $109. So $288 vs $339 as advertised for four gallons. I canāt say that itās a sure thing, but thought Iād pass the info along in case it saves someone else a few bucks.
