| Malabsorption may be caused by delayed gastric emptying, prior or concurrent injury, achlorhydria, and reduced gastric mucin secretion. |
| This unusual reactive lesion of the gastric mucosa has only rarely been described and has been termed Russell body gastritis. |
| The risk of gastric distension or aerophagia should also be minimized by the careful positioning of the infant. |
| Fasting can often increase gastric acidity levels causing a burning feeling, a heaviness in the stomach, and a sour mouth. |
| Anyone without achlorhydria secretes hydrogen ions from gastric mucosa whether fed orally, by a nasogastric tube, or parenterally. |
| Other infections are associated with normal or elevated gastric acidity, and may lead to duodenal ulcers. |
