NET Nutrition is a new nutrition tool made specifically for those living with NETs and/or Carcinoid Syndrome. Determining which nutrients are right for you while living with NETs can sometimes be challenging. The new NET Nutrition feature is overseen by three highly qualified and experienced NET nutritionists who bring a wealth of perspectives and insights. Currently available is an article by Leigh Anne Kamerman Burns, MS, LDN, RD (above center), on how to approach healthy weight gain. A second article, by Deirdre Burke, RD (above left), concerns how to make informed choices about “alternative diets” that claim to be able to solve your dietary goals. Tara Whyand, MSc, BSc, dietitian (above right), addresses common vitamin and mineral deficiencies for individuals diagnosed with NETs. Each article is concise, straightforward and includes tips for healthy eating and some include recipes. Check in regularly for new articles that will help you manage typical diet-related symptoms and offer insights on conversations to have with your healthcare team.
Access the free Carcinoid NETs Health Storylines app mobile app through the Apple App Store and Google Play.
