First Lanreotide Injection: Any tips about diet and side effects?

I am beyond appreciative for the internet resources and you are so right about not much from the oncologists in the way of information regarding side effects or diets. I feel so blessed to have stumbled on this group while scouring the internet for myself! Hugs!!
P.S. Have you had issues with avocados? One site I found says not to eat, it some say it is a healthy fat.

nana120- I eat 1 boiled egg and 1/2 avocado a day without any symptoms. My surgeon and oncologist said that if I do not feel any uncomfortable effect I should eat it. I feel cramps and pain from brie, and pasta with red sause ( even very small amount).

Nana120, glad you found this info helpful.
Hate to say but I'm not an Avacado person so can't answer your question. I will tell you that it's just a real trial and error figuring out what you can/can't eat. I had the double whammy of losing so much of my intestines. I did attend an online conference through LACNETS recently (excellent) and the general consensus is basically you can eat whatever you want as long as it agrees with you and you try to eat healthy. I do take 2 prebiotics (one in the morning and one at night), and recently started a pro/prebiotic combo.
I'm sure you'll get some helpful information from others here, and good for you for reaching out.
