Roger,

Just keep in mind a couple of things:

1. Agents that raise the pH in the gut will cause MORE production of HCL, 
while temporarily relieving painful symptoms.
2. As you suggested, agents that prevent the production of HCL compromise 
digestion.
3. Any sudden change in diet is likely to cause a problem, and colic is the 
big one.
4. Your analysis of the causative factors is a good one--combat those over 
the long term. Avoid instant solutions--for the most part, they don't exist. 
5. When the horse says he's "off", always believe him. and be careful 
bringing him back to full work--and full ration.

Good thinking, Pard. Just proceed with caution.
