Is There A Alternate Natural Medicine To Creon?

my husband has had gastric roux en y bariatric surgery. his pancreatric enzymes are not meeting and mixing with his food so the Dr put him on Creon. We are looking for a natural alternative for him to take for 2 reasons; he takes 2 pills with each meal and 1 with his snacks, up to 8 pills a day. For 240 pills his cost is $2400.00. We cannot afford this and we are looking for an alternative medicine. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, though following does not serve as alternative medicine, but through their herbal contents, help best way to aid in digestion and decrease the body need of pancreatic supplements. Here is the list of certain food molecules for better intestine digestive set up:
- Pineapple
- Kiwi
- Banana
- Mango
- Papaya
- Avocado
- Honey
- Ginger

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
