Managing nutrition with neuroendocrine tumors can be challenging

If you or someone you care about is living with a neuroendocrine tumor (NET), eating and getting appropriate nutrition may become a daily struggle, and it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. That is why we created the NET nutrition guide – a free eBook developed in cooperation with a renowned expert in the field of nutrition.

This guide offers practical nutritional support for people with a NET – whether you are managing symptoms, facing dietary challenges, or simply want to know which foods to avoid with NET.

Benefits of eating well with NETs

Both the tumor itself and its treatments can have a huge impact on nutrition and eating with neuroendocrine tumors. Based on your type of NET, the treatment you are receiving, or previous surgeries, your body may not be able to properly digest food and absorb enough nutrients. As a result, certain foods or eating habits may lead to gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, or constipation, and your overall well-being may be affected. For many people, dietary changes after neuroendocrine tumor diagnosis are necessary, and focusing on diet and nutrition is especially important for people with NETs.

Healthy eating with neuroendocrine tumors can improve your quality of life in many ways:

• Reduce NET symptoms

• Improve your ability to cope with treatment

• Promote wound healing following surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy

• Boost your immune system and protect you from infections

• Help you maintain your weight and get enough energy to carry out your everyday tasks

By learning more about nutrition and NET, you can start managing diarrhea and other symptoms in neuroendocrine tumors with diet and avoid triggers that could worsen discomfort.
