I am helping the LAM Foundation check out this part of their website, but I also have a legitimate question.  I had chylous fluid and I've been taking Octreotide injections daily since 2000.  Someone recently mentioned they read of a connection between Octreotide stomach issues like constipation and diarriah.  I take Protonix for GERD.  Since I take a lot of different meds I assumed that was the reason for stomach distress. 
Do you know what the long term side effects of Octreotide are? 
Thank you for your help.

Apparently, I did not respond using the approriate channels. Anyway, I just saw a patient who developed severe constipation on Octreo so there may well be an association....
See u Sunday
