I try not to buy from Wal-mart, but I have that and a Food Lion within an hour of me, so for groceries I weigh the gas usage with the evils of Wal-mart, and honestly I don't think much of Walgreen's either. But yes, I do shop at Wal-mart(then again, I'm a vegan so I can't get quite a few of my groceries from anywhere around me!!)!! Oh, and my jumbled up version of follower...um, it is meant to mean without followers...not that lol!Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377944763362524233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595584700754159703.post-14774868141677132702011-07-05T13:55:35.244-05:002011-07-05T13:55:35.244-05:00Alana, I don't shop at Wal-mart because they h...Alana, I don't shop at Wal-mart because they have such horrible business practices. Granted, I'm sure there isn't a single corporation that is squeeky clean, but Wal-mart is just SO dirty. I'd rather pay a few more dollars somewhere else.

Or online in various places, just do a google search if no where sells it by you.<br />And my blog would be the most boringest followerist blog ever that would get update super sporadically!Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377944763362524233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595584700754159703.post-82875008305547938852011-07-02T21:36:25.324-05:002011-07-02T21:36:25.324-05:00I buy my aloe juice @ Walgreen's; it's som...I buy my aloe juice @ Walgreen's; it's something like $12 for a gallon. The brand is Fruit of The Earth, which is something like 99% pure. Salem seems to really like it. I've also seen aloe juice (different brand) in the produce section of the grocery store, but in smaller bottles. Just make sure ya refrigerate after opening!Frizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595584700754159703.post-69645367810239700612011-07-02T20:01:17.939-05:002011-07-02T20:01:17.939-05:00Where do you get your aloe vera?

This is after a round of omeprazole to get it straightened out in the first place, trying to keep it straightened!

Maybe it's the higher protein, etc. in alfalfa that made your horse whack-o?<br />Alana, I had heard about the cabbage, but forgot about it, so thanks for the reminder! Lol, I think the people at my barn already think I'm a nutty hippy-weirdo, and feeding Salem cabbage would probably only add to that. ;-) <br />The Paddock Paradise thing is intriguing, but confusing; doesn't it seem weird that fencing off most of your pasture and making a "track" around it actually makes the horses happier?? Start a blog already, girl!!!Frizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595584700754159703.post-66067401854945179962011-07-02T07:22:06.385-05:002011-07-02T07:22:06.385-05:00I do pretty much the same as you.

When Ta'ceyewi's tummy had all his troubles I took him off all commercial grains (he was on TC Senior, so a good (no)grain at that!!) and he got a vitamin supp, alfalfa, aloe, pumpkin seeds, slippery elm, and cabbage (and flax,BOSS and rice bran, but those aren't for ulcers) for a couple of months. Now he is super healthy and I dropped the pumpkin seeds, slippery elm, and cabbage. I also found he doesn't handle beet pulp well at all (I know, WHAT?) but I don't know if that was ulcer related or just him. My other 2 got a diet similar to his, but consisted primarily of beet pulp.<br />I am also looking into doing a Pasture Paradise track plan on my property that would hypothetically reduce ulcer risk by them living more natural, and has loads of other benefits (including the possibility of growing my own hay!) especially for bare feet! (wow, I sound like a crazy person!!)Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377944763362524233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595584700754159703.post-55996587077938278772011-07-02T00:43:58.494-05:002011-07-02T00:43:58.494-05:00Nina gets slippery elm bark in her beet pulp every...Nina gets slippery elm bark in her beet pulp everyday and nutritional yeast for a pre-biotic. I love aloe vera too, but she doesn't. She also gets Smart Pac Omega 3s. The slippery elm made all the ulcer behaviors disappear and I think the rest helps her gut stay healthier. She gets alfalfa/grass morning and night. I think the alfalfa helps too and I am glad she can eat it. My last horse went nuts on alfalfa - swinging from the rafters nuts.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571711150060964222noreply@blogger.com
