I agree. Silver chloride has a solubility of ,89 ppm in water at room temperature, and is higher than that at body temperature, and when in concentrated hydrochloric acid. When the AgCl crosses the stomach lining into the blood stream, it should quickly react with traces of ammonia in the blood producing a silver ammonia complex Ag(NH3)2+, which will be soluble. So what I would expect when taking EIS is: 1. The particulate portion that is sufficient small quickly gets transported into the blood stream. 2. The ionic portion forms AgCl, with any in excess of something greater than .89 ppm, precipitating. 3. That portion of AgCl that is dissolved will pass through the stomach wall. 4. The AgCl in the blood stream will react with any ammonia in the blood forming the silver ammonia complex, which will be readily soluble. 5. As the dissolved AgCl leaves the stomach, the remaining AgCl that precipitated out dissolves to maintain the stomach contents at the saturation level of AgCl until all is either dissolved, or the remainder transported to the intestines. As far as the disposition of the Silver Ammonia Complex, I am not sure. It is likely either expelled as such by the kidneys or liver, or reduces onto the silver particles enlarging them slightly.
