Hello! I have been on lanreotide injections since March 2023. The first day I go on crackers and swiss cheese. Avoiding tomatoes, hard cheese, watermelon, pineapple. I tolerate eggs and half an avocado a day. Eat lots of protein - cottage cheese, sardines, chicken and fish. Nothing fried! Occasionally I have a piece of chocolate as my blood sugar tends to drop ( due to lanreotide!). Good luck! We got this!💜🦓

Several on this site who were taking lanreotide injections shared their experiences with dietary issues and it varies as to what is tolerated, but I googled until I found a site for what to eat if you have neuroendocrine cancer that was pretty straight forward. With that help I found that eating a pretty bland diet kept the lanreotide from upsetting my GI system.
