Hi, to make a long story short, my wife had a Pancreatectomy, and was left with 25% of her pancreas, back in 2011. We could not afford the Creon, she got some samples but not enough.
For a period of time we toughed it out. A few years later, her gastro dr told her about an alternative. It has been on the market for a few years and still not very many people know about it. It's a practitioners exclusive made by Metagenics, called SpectraZyme PAN 9x.
There is also a second with 2x the lipase, call Pan 9x ES
Since this is my first posting, I am not allowed to put their site up, so just do a search for Spectrazme with either the Pan 9x or Pan 9x ES and that will get you there.
As subscribers' through her dr, we received a discount. Way more inexpensive than Creon and has the same functional ingredients. To any and all who read this, go to the site, check it out. If anyone here is currently taking it, let me know. We finally were approved for Croen this year, through MyAbbvie (the direct manufacturer), so we have 2 bottles sealed of the ES (90 count each) we do not want to toss or give away to a corporation. Pix of our bottles is attached. I have had them posted online for less than half of the discounted price. So I found this site. In hopes of finding others who need it.
Questions, just inquire.
Yall are so fortunate to have a provider who will recommend a Non-Pharmaceutical. I have completed everything I was advised to do. Still no diagnosis or relief. I'm tired of practitioner Monopoly. Each one sends you to someone else ... another and another ... nothing determined. I asked a question of my GI following an Endoscopic US. He made remarks in the notes about seeing issues other than what he was looking for. I questioned as to how I should follow up.
WELLLLLLLL ... he hid those notes in some file that appears, name only, that I cannot access. I'm 70 ... getting pushed over the cliff. I have found a couple of independent practitioners that I am going to try to see.
God Bless you and your wife.
