On what grounds do you base this on?  Silver chloride has a solubility of about
.8 ppm in water, so if you have 80% ionic silver of 5 ppm, and there is only 4
or 5 ounces of liquid in the stomach, then virtually all of it will dissolve.
But even if it did not all dissolve, that which does will quickly pass into the
blood stream, and what initially precipitated out will then dissolve over time.

We know that silver chloride taken orally without the benefit of any colloidal
part to form a nucleus to precipitate onto will cause argyria through the
photographic and tollens reagent reactions. If what you say were true then that
would be impossible.

Yes, fully expected since AgCl only has about a .8 ppm solubility. But add
sufficient warm water and it will redissolve slowly.  Add low pH HCl and you
will find that the solubility goes way up.
