Odd coincidence that you report CS useful as an anti-diarrheal; I
found, quite by accident, that it seems to work as an antacid!
I have no idea what the mechanism could be, but after finding, by
chance, that a gulp of CS remedied late-night acid reflux (from
overeating), I have tried several times since then, with the same
result.
I am just guessing that if, as some claim, ionic silver forms silver
chloride in vivo, then the silver chloride has the chemical property
of neutralizing acids. I am not a chemist so this is just a guess.
As for the effect you describe, I just do not know. Neither effect
would seem related to the anti-microbial properties of CS.

You aren't the first person to report yeast symptoms after taking
CS. It has never happened to me though, and I often take a whole lot
more than your 3-5 oz per day, and my CS is more like 10-15ppm. I
don't personally believe CS can disrupt the bacteria in the human
bowel, perhaps somewhat in the upper small intestine, but not the
large intestine. At least I can't get it to disrupt mine. It seems to
me like colonics, since they actually go into the bowel ought to
disrupt the flora a lot more (by washing them out), since so many
think CS never gets far into the bowel in liquid form unless there is
severe diarrhea. Since I do get diarrhea once in a while (usually from
eating too much high carb high sugar stuff) I take the opportunity to
drink from a pint to a quart of CS very fast in hopes of getting it
through the whole tract in liquid form, but the CS has stops the
diarrhea so fast it could not have made a complete transit as liquid,
or I don't think so anyway.
It makes no sense to me to take CS and a probiotic together. I try
to take mine a couple hours apart.
I wonder what would have happened if you had upped your CS intake
even more rather than stopped it? Or gone ahead and tried it
topically? Could it be that CS kills some of the bacteria that might
be keeping the yeast in check first (would not necessarily be
beneficial bacteria), but the yeast organisms take longer to kill off,
thus resulting in a flare? My thinking is that maybe it takes more CS
to kill candida than to kill bacteria/viruses. I'd really like to know
if you ever figure out exactly what is happening, as I don't
understand it.

3
days later I started getting the first signs of a yeast
infection-never full
blown but bad enough. Not only was I getting sick but yeasty and I
was
taking 5 ounces a day!
I stopped my CS on Friday (to test it) and today (Tuesday) I no
longer have
ANY yeast symptoms.
The advice I got was to take
the 2 together at the same time. But that doesn't make any sense to
me???
Doesn't one negate the other?
Also, there were suggestions to actually use CS as a douche. Since
CS did
disrupt my flora, would it be wise to use it as a douche? As of
right now,
I'm no longer symptomatic but does that make sense anyway?
FYI-I haven't had a yeast infection in OVER 10 years! I get regular
colonics and follow a high protein-low carb diet. No potatoes, only
high
grain-no sugar bread and very little refined sugars. The only thing
I
changed was consumption of CS.
Thank you in advance,
Mag
