I wouldn't expect kaolin to have any antacid activity. (Nor any particular whitening ability). The standard antacid tablets I am familar with are calcium carbonate (Tums, etc). It's the carbonate that provides the antacid effect, by reacting with the acid to form carbon dioxide (like those vinegar and baking soda demonstrations from grade school). Potters know calcium carbonate as whiting. But don't try eating whiting as an antacid. Pharmaceutical grade calcium carbonate is low in lead, which is a contaminant in most other calcium carbonate sources. Last I heard, most of the antacid grade came from one particular quarry in Mexico.

It is available in liquid and tablet form. The kaolin absorbs anything in the bowel that may be the cause of the diarrhoea while the morphine relaxes the bowel muscles and slows down bowelw movements. If you use this product remember to keep drinking plenty of fluids. Also, if you use the mixture shake the bottle well. from: http://www.pharmweb.net/pwmirror/pwz...ns/gastin.html Kaopectate originally received it's name from kaolin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaopectate In parts of Georgia, it was common to eat raw Kaolin for diarrhea. I can't remember what the natural pH of a typical kaolin is (edges and faces are different)- so I don't know how effective it would be as an antacid. Gregg |
