Paula,
We have some chemists on the list methinks. Help from the PhDs?

Jonathan,
I recently had an attack (very rare for me these days) of acid,
burning, etc, and CS worked to stop the pain. I thought about taking
some probiotic, or antacid, but decided to try CS first.........it
really did work. I have fewer ideas than you about why this would be
so. As you say, it is interesting though.

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.
