Unlikely: It is not feasible to know why you have the symptoms, but it is highly unlikely that you have carcinoid. It would be prudent to see a doctor as the symptoms warrant additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
