2. Who should opt for the Thyrocare Gastrin Test?
This test is recommended for individuals experiencing:

• Frequent or recurring peptic ulcers

• Persistent abdominal discomfort or acid reflux

• Unexplained weight loss or chronic diarrhea

• Clinical suspicion of gastrinoma or hypergastrinemia

3. Is fasting required before taking the Thyrocare Gastrin Test?
Yes, fasting for 8 to 12 hours is required. The test should be done on an empty stomach for accurate results.

4. Are any medications restricted before the Thyrocare Gastrin Test?
Yes. Avoid proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2 blockers for a few days before testing, as they can increase gastrin levels. Consult your doctor before stopping any medication.
