Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease - Zollinger-Ellison syndrome Factor
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare and serious condition and a veteran or member would have needed significant medical attention.
RMA Definition
"a condition characterised by gastric hypersecretion of acid, ulceration of the upper gastro-intestinal mucosa and usually the presence of a gastrinoma or a diffuse hyperplasia of the gastrin secreting beta cells of the pancreas”.
Medical treatment for this condition would normally be recorded in doctors' notes and/or hospital records. However, if these records cannot be obtained a reliable history of appropriate medical treatment and symptoms at a particular time will generally be accepted, unless there is contradictory evidence. Seek medical advice if it is unclear whether the claimed symptoms and treatment at that time can be attributed to Zollinger-Ellison rather than to some other condition.
