You are correct, Somatuline or Lanreotide can produce gall stones among other side effects. How long were you taking this drug before your gall bladder acted up? I am just short of 2 years. Something that might help with symptoms..........maybe some contributors.........
the “no-nos” added by lanreotide are spicy foods, tomatoes, fatty meats, cruciferous vegetables, sugar/sweets. No uncooked veggies, all should be well cooked.

Apparently, 1 person every 90 minutes in the U.K. is diagnosed with NETs, which might help promote research.

Where did you get the 1 person every 90 minute stat for the UK? Thanks.

@ricki8- I have been on Lanreotide for 2 yrs on March 10 :). My gallbladder was taken out during the debulking liver surgery in February 2023. ( preventative) I had distal pancreatectomy, spleen and gallbladder removal, and hysterectomy.
