Default Our 2 yr. old has Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency

Abbey was diagnosed with EPI today. I have come to grips with the fact that she will need to take this with every feeding for the rest of her life. The vet gave us an 8 oz bottle of Pancrezine for 100 bucks and told us to put a teaspoon in each meal and to feed her 3 times a day. Doing the math, that becomes 200 dollars a month as each 8 oz bottle contains 48 doses.
To say I am a bit disheartend is an understatement. I love our girl like one of our kids but adding that to the cost of her Wellness Core it will cost 300 dollars per month just to feed her.
Does anyone know of a less expensive source for this medicine?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
