Hello @brucegs,

You do have several different medical issues that affect your eating. As @maeve115 suggested, I would also recommend asking for a referral to a registered dietitian. Your oncologist or PCP should be able to provide a referral. I have had three surgeries for NETs, and I have met with a hospital dietitian several times; they are unsung heroes in medicine. They are quite capable of helping you develop an eating plan for different health issues.

Have you begun using Creon yet? If so, has it helped?

@hopeful33250 Thanks!
I haven't yet accepted the prescription yet for Creon. Cost and risk/benefits are of concern. With my loval.oncologist who has previously and currently supervised my injections, we found that immodium controlled diarrhea, and I think.I may be willing to continur experiencing two or so " bad days" each time. I don't go to work; I may not have mentioned in my first introduction that I'm 92 years old.
