HYPERGASTRINEMIA

Hypergastrinemia refers to a condition where gastrin levels in the blood become abnormally high. Gastrin is an important hormone produced in the stomach that stimulates acid secretion to aid digestion.

SEVERAL FACTORS CAN CAUSE GASTRIN TO RISE

  • H. pylori infection, which can overstimulate gastrin production through chronic irritation.
  • Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are one common cause — they reduce stomach acid so effectively that the body compensates by producing more gastrin.
  • Chronic atrophic gastritis, where the stomach lining thins and inflames.
  • Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a rare disorder where a tumor secretes excess gastrin.
  • When gastrin levels stay elevated, it can lead to excess acid production, which increases the risk of developing stomach or duodenal ulcers.

SYMPTOMS

  • Recurrent heartburn or acid reflux (very common due to excessive acid production).
  • Abdominal pain (especially upper stomach discomfort).
  • Stomach or duodenal ulcers (strongly associated. May lead to possible bleeding).
  • Unintentional weight loss
  • Malabsorption of nutrients
  • Bloating
  • Nausea
  • Anaemia (occurs if ulcers cause chronic bleeding).
  • Diarrhoea (especially in severe cases)
  • Loss of appetite

SUPPLEMENTATION RECOMMENDATION

  1. REPOPULATING YOUR GUT MICROBIOME WITH THE RIGHT GOOD BACTERIA
    Repopulating your gut microbiome with the right good bacteria to improve its function and role within your health will start resolving your symptoms.
    Ensure you only take a probiotic that meets pharmaceutical grade standards to ensure efficacy and that dose delivery for symptom improvement, (uses gold-standard strains backed by clinical evidence for efficacy, with a minimum dose of 10 Billion CFU’s, protects it bacterial dose by ensuring shelf stability and full stomach acid protection with targeted delivery of the bacteria to your intestine, and meets all other quality metrics).The bacteria in your microbiome improves digestion and nutrient absorption, acts at the guts pharmacy – making vitamins, producing SCFA’s and other important metabolites, like serotonin. It is both the boss of and manager of our immune system. They Influence our brain and hormones, improve our mood + how our brain work. The microbiome also influence our Metabolic and Hormonal system/health.
  2. HEALING THE WHOLE GUT SYSTEM, IMPROVING THE STRUCTURE, ENVIRONMENT AND FUNCTION
    This condition can affect the gut structure, environment and function, leading to an overall decline in the performance of the whole gut system. This results in gut inflammation, increased oxidative levels altered colonic PH levels. It impairs; immune capabilities, cell function, barrier function, digestion and metabolic health. Which makes it harder for good bacteria to survive in your gut, and easier for pathogens to take over – leading to a negative-cyclical feedback loop that keeps you unhealthy, compromised and struggling with severe symptoms.
