There aren't a lot of options for pancreatic enzyme products. There's Creon and Zenpep which is similar and also costly. Our nutritionist mentioned this product but we haven't tried it. https://www.vitalnutrients.net/pancreatic-enzymes.html

My wife has been using Creon for 2 years and her insurance has thankfully covered it so far. Try to get prescriptions for 12000, 24000 and 36000 doses. The insurance company won't like it but my wife had to experiment a lot and found that too much Creon was almost worse than too little (gas, bloating). She uses 12000 or 24000 for small snacks based on how fatty they are and 3 x 36000 for full meals.

Good luck.

Zenpep is the one I was on. Then my doctor changed it. I'm not really sure why because they have the same ingredients. Maybe they got a better deal on it from the pharma.
