>>>> I'm confused, I know there's a lot of anecdotal evidence of this but I thought it has been proven that stomach ulcers are caused by a virus or bacteria - is the virus/bacteria stress induced?
In humans, yes, but in the horse research I've seen, there's a huge link to stress. I don't know which it is...Are the bacteria/viruses allowed to become active when the horses are stressed as you suggested? Or are horse ulcers of a different origin than human ulcers? Or both? That's not clear to me either. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
