Serious Symptoms Of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome

Reduced Appetite

Reduced appetite describes when an individual has a decreased desire to eat the same way they normally would. An individual's appetite is influenced by many different factors that can be influenced by several different medical and mental conditions. A Zollinger-Ellison syndrome patient can develop malignant tumors in their pancreas and stomach. Malignant tumors in the glands and digestive organs tend to produce decreased appetite in an affected individual due to the mechanical nature of cancer and other factors. An individual may experience decreased appetite if they have Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and have a benign tumor in their duodenum that obstructs the proper and timely movement of food through their digestive system. A patient may also experience a reduced appetite if they develop ulcers in the lining of their stomach due to the excessive production of gastric acid and gastrin by the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome-precipitated tumor.
