carcinoid syndrome diet

Carcinoid syndrome diet involves managing symptoms caused by a type of tumor that releases hormones into the body. It often recommends avoiding certain foods that can worsen symptoms, like alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods, and foods rich in tyramine (such as aged cheeses, smoked meats, and fermented products). Eating small, frequent meals with a focus on low-tyramine foods can help control symptoms like flushing and diarrhea. Hydration and balanced nutrition are also important. Always follow personalized advice from a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian to ensure nutritional needs are met while managing the condition effectively.
