Digestive Aid

[H8652]

My youngster is the stressy and spooky type. I bought him in January this year and he was underweight and quite weak, we have been building him up slowly but now I think his stressy behaviour is affecting his weight gain and general wellness. Any slight change in his normal routine and he gets a runny tummy, he is also very spooky to ride. This has got better as he's gained confidence but he's still very unpredictable. I have been wondering if I should add something to his feed to aid with his digestive health?
He is currently fed one scoop grass chaff, one scoop pony nuts, 250g balancer and 100g linseed twice a day and ad lib hay when not turned out. I have read brewers yeast may be beneficial? Or is their a feed balancer or supplement that I could swap his current balancer with that has added digestive aid?

I feed the Protexin Gut Balancer, the 700g tub lasts me just over 2 months and think it costs about £22. I bought it after my boy had finished ulcer treatment as I had him on the Acid Ease one but wanted something that had general gut health benefits. He had a dry bum all winter, last winter it was a nightmare. I don't know whether it was the gut balancer but this is the only change I had made!
