3. Symptoms of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome

Similar to symptoms of a peptic ulcer, ZES symptoms begin as dull pain or burning sensations between the mid-chest and naval. Discomfort usually happens on an empty stomach, and eating food may or may not relieve pain or burning. Other signs of ZES include:

  • Occasional nausea and vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Belching
  • Bloating
  • Lack of appetite
  • Weight loss

Symptoms vary among people with ZES. Some report only diarrhea, while others experience a severe acid indigestion condition called GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disorder.
