HI, I keep looking this up and you said exactly what it has said about it on the  internet info, I have thought as much myself! These Drs  here
have known about this , my Gastro and  PCP. Is the money so  short now days or is it just choice they have aloud me to get this far with no treatment? I know life is a test at times but you go to these people for help
and you whined up asking and getting answers from some like you! Its very nice  to know someone like you is here to help! I have an aptt  in Dallas on the 12th of next month at Baylor, I will ,God willing, be keeping it too! Thanks so much again for you answer! I know now a lot more now than I did. My mother and grandmother had this also, I know this for a very good reason. you take care and again,

                                               Thank You So Much!

Hi!
High gastrin levels are seen in gastrinoma, which is a tumor in the pancreas or duodenum. This tumor secretes high amount of gastrin which causes ulcers in the duodenum, stomach and the small intestine. High gastrin levels are also seen in Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
The gastrin levels may be elevated in gastric distention caused by gastric outlet obstruction. Any condition causing lowering of gastric hydrochloric acid, called  gastric hypo- or achlorhydria, also increase gastrin levels. These include surgical excision of antrum, gastric dumping syndrome and atrophic gastritis with or without pernicious anemia.
You need urgent investigation to find the cause. Take care!
