dougt, your Doc said no diet restrictions. Why only eat those 3 raw vegetables at lunch for years? Are those your favorite foods? I'm stage 4 NETS, post Small bowel resection, plenty of tumors on board. Currently on Lanreotide. I have no diet restrictions. All that and I'm having a cheeseburger w fries for lunch. 🙂

jlsgt, I eat all sorts of raw veggies (tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, onions, broccoli, etc.) as well fruits with skins daily. I am not limited to broccoli, celery, and carrots. My question is simply, would not eating these foods if I am not having problems change my prognosis at all. Other than worrying about blockages, is there another risk to eating these type foods with carcinoid or while on Lanreotide?

I see a lot of literature warning NET patients to eat only well-cooked vegetables and skinless fruits if you are going to eat these at all. I want to know why this is the recommendation.

At this point I don't plan to change my diet a lot unless I start having symptoms related to the illness.
