High Level of gastrin

I am having problems with gastritis and a high level of gastrin, which is roughly 620 pg.  The doctor's have done a CT Scan looking for the Ellison Zollinger syndrome.  The CT Scan with and without contrast showed no abnormralities in the pancrease or duodenum.  All organs are normal.  My doctor doesn't know why the hormone gastrin is high.  He has done all the test he knows to do and doesn't have a clue. Can anyone help me to know what is going on?  I have been taking prevacid for roughly 4 years and just switched to Kapedix.  I am thinking this may have something to do with the high levels of gastrin.  When the doctor adminstered the blood test, I was not fasting nor was I taken off from Kapedix.  Would this contribute to the high level of gastrin?  Please help, I am at my wit's end.  My stomach hurts due to the inflammation, gastritis.  I fill bloated like I have a full stomach.

I have the same problem as you are having and my doctors do not know th cause, I have had the CT scan and all was normal.  I do not drink water hardly at all but I drink coffee off and on all day plus I chew gum.  By any change do you do this?  If so it may say something to us.

    Hi .... my case its opposite.. my level its 24, its a very low , but docs say its"normal".... but in your case what i recomend its water in the morning every day, and take about 2 liters daily this helps to dissolve all this acid... and my other suggest its CHLOROPHYLL WITH CHORELLA AND ALFALFA.. ITYS A VERY POWERFULL DETOX ... see if its alright for you ...  if you take , you maybe will feel little funky but don't worry its the process of detoxication and less than week you'll start to see feel  better... i wish the best for you.
