EPI meds expense

I was diagnosed 6 months ago and have the same kind of gastroenterologist. I am now driving three hours to a new doctor and clinic. I’m low in all three major enzymes, with lipase being extremely low. Zenpep works great but it is terribly expensive. I found a pancreatic enzyme medication that works exactly the same for me. It is Vital Nutrients Pancreatic Enzymes. It costs $38.

I took creon for several years under Medicare but it was still very expensive with the donut hole, etc. someone on this site told me to go to PatientAssist on AbbVie site and apply for help with cost. I got approved asap and am now in second year, getting 500 24000 mg creon per month.
Best thing ever!
