A member asked:
What should diet be for carcinoid cancer patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tryptophan: Carcinoid patients need more tryptophan-rich protein than other folks, and plenty of vitamin b3, since there's extra synthesis of serotonin by the tumor. Beyond this, a sensible and prudent diet that the person likes.
