VIPoma?: Hi. Does your endo or GI doc think this is a VIPoma? Those are very rare, and at your age would make a genetic syndrome more likely. How high are the VIP and CgA? They need to be several FOLD elevated above the upper limit of normal to suspect VIPoma. Is the diagnosis beyond question? They can be very difficult to localize. I assume no luck with that. Somatostatin analog drugs can help symptoms.
