Causes inhibition of PGE2 formation by COX1 therefore less activation of the PGE2R on Parietal Cell - Increased HCl production!

181
Secondary lactose malabsorption:

183
Celiac disease - Prevalence Correlates with:
Genetic Predisposition: HLA-DQ2>HLA-DQ8 | Lifestyle Predisposition: High wheat consumption
184
Celiac disease - Serum autoantibodies:
IgA anti-gliadin | IgA anti-tTG(tissue transglutaminase)
185
Celiac - Classic symptoms: (6)
* Diarrhea, abdominal pain * Growth failure in children, weight loss in adults * High temperature * Severe anemia * Neurologic disorders from deficiencies of B vitamins * Osteopenia from deficiency of vitamin D and calcium

Transcription Factor that Prevents the WNT - Beta Catenin pathway from causing transcribing Cell proliferation and Migration.
