FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will my pet be on the Leaky Gut Protocol for life?

Many animals achieve the desired symptom resolution or relief with just one kit. Other pets with deeper issues may require ongoing support or multiple kits. You should see gradual improvement as long as you are using it, but if the improvement stops or conditions appear to be worsening, please stop use and contact us at questions@adoredbeast.com. When your animal improves completely on the protocol then it is always a good idea to do one protocol a year to help keep the gut in prime condition.

Do I have to stop using all other medications for allergies (Atopica, Apoquel, etc)?

While you continue to use drugs you will continue to create damage, BUT you can’t just stop any drugs cold turkey! We believe that a slow decrease (so as not to shock the body) is best, BUT please always check with your vet with any drugs your animal is on to be sure they are compatible and to find out how to wean off of them.

How long until I see changes?

This depends on a number of things:
- How long your animal has been ill
- How much medication he or she has been on
- If you are supporting them with nutritious whole real food and not processed food
We have seen animals improve in 1 week and some animals taking one month to show improvement.

Here is a whole list of positive changes:
- Increased energy
- Deeper, more relaxed sleep
- Less anxiety
- Less joint pain
- Less scratching
- Faster healing
- Less grumpy
- Better hair coat
- Healthier ears
- Less reverse sneezing
- Better quality stools
- Weight gain or loss, more balanced weight
Remember, the gut is in charge of so many things! What you think may be symptoms of leaky gut (ie. itchy skin or hotspots) are only what you physically see going on. The imbalance and trauma are deep below the surface and you may see other improvements before you see the skin symptoms getting better. If this happens (ie. your dog has more energy, is getting along better with other dogs, or is more engaged and happier) but the skin symptoms are the same, this can be a very good sign that things are improving deep down and that the gut is getting healthier and the skin will take a bit longer to show signs of improvement. Consider it almost like things are getting better from the inside out!

Will my pet's symptoms get worse before they get better?

If your animal has a very strong yeast infestation or overgrowth, a rapid die-off/detox can occur. In this case, we recommend you immediately stop the Healthy Gut and and Gut Soothe for 3-5 days to allow the body to metabolize and remove built-up waste and reach out to our product specialists who can assist you with further instructions.

How come I ran out of some of the products in the kit? Do I keep giving the rest?

This is because the powders serving sizes are based on body weight, whereas the tinctures and homeopathics aren’t. We don’t have a kit for weight ranges. Many folks find that they do not need to purchase an additional single Gut Seal and they just finish off each product as they run out, but if you are feeling like there is still some additional “work to be done” you can certainly purchase a single Gut Seal to keep going. You would just need to contact orders@adoredbeast.com to purchase. It’s not listed for individual sale on our website as it’s only to be used in conjunction with the rest of the Leaky Gut Protocol ingredients.
Any of the other protocol products can be ordered directly from our website.

Why do I use all the products but not the Rebalancer? I have so much left!

We included a large enough bottle for a few reasons:

1. Many times it is necessary to repeat this process up to 4-8 times. If you see that the Protocol initially helped but stalled, then it is helpful to repeat the Rebalancer the same way BUT you do NOT stop the rest of the Protocol. Simply add the Rebalancer back in twice a day for 2 days. If you see improvement you can repeat it every 2 weeks, up to 8 times AS LONG AS YOU SEE IMPROVEMENT EACH TIME, GIVE IT.

2. Even though we do NOT support some people choose to revaccinate. If this is the case, then there is plenty to re-dose. This product has a very long shelf life so if at any point you do vaccines you can use the product again.

3. If you have a multi-animal household and any of your animals have been vaccinated, it is a very supportive product and you can give it to any of your furry family members to help with the long term side effects of vaccines!
