Thankyou indeed for your prompt reply.
This is such a wonderful way to connect. I had begun feeling very isolated ,alone, and confused with my nutrition issue.
I did try to speak to a few dietitians but did not find their advice pointed enough to address my specific situation.
I wonder if there are onco- dietitians who can perceive my unique situation of zero tolerance to all protein foods…….

One thing I found very helpful is vegan protein powder - protein from plant sources, not dairy sources. I would mix the powder with water, not milk, for a very drinkable 20-30g of protein.

That is an interesting question, @apuakumamma, about oncology dieticians. I don't know the answer, but you might ask your oncology team and see what they say.
If you are able to eat pasta, I recently learned that there is a pasta made with chickpea flour and it is quite high in protein. Here is a link to some information about this, https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/chickpea-pasta#nutrition
I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you continue to post as you seek answers?
