There has also been an increased incidence of atrophic gastritis and achlorhydria in patients with gluten sensitivity. |
|
The absence of acid is called achlorhydria, but many people have this condition without ill effects. |
|
Malabsorption may be caused by delayed gastric emptying, prior or concurrent injury, achlorhydria, and reduced gastric mucin secretion. |
|
Anyone without achlorhydria secretes hydrogen ions from gastric mucosa whether fed orally, by a nasogastric tube, or parenterally. |
|
Patients with achlorhydria may have decreased absorption of calcium that may be attenuated by taking calcium with food. |
|
Most patients improve quickly, although neurological damage is seldom fully reversible and atrophy of the parietal cells and achlorhydria persist. |
|
Calcium absorption is pH-dependent and decreases significantly in the presence of achlorhydria. |
|
Castle conceived the theory that the relation of the gastric abnormality achlorhydria to the hematologic abnormality anemia was causal. |
|
If you have a condition called achlorhydria, are taking H2-receptor antagonists or other gastric acid suppressors, you should take this medicine with a cola beverage. |
