Do horses that are dosed with this rich protein/carb mixture have a problem with loose stools/diarrhea?  Sure seems like they would - whether or not they were lactose intolerant.

No--there's not that much of it. It's digested quickly and happily before it ever reaches the lower gut. Even triple doses have not caused that kind of trouble. You get into trouble when you feed large amounts of grain--particularly if you're feeding other feedstuffs that inhibit digestion and absorption. When feeding grain, keep the portions small and feed more often--no more than 5 lbs at a time.
