Alternative rewards for clicker training

Hi, My dog has been diagnosed with EPI in the last six months. For those that don't know it's a pancreatic enzyme deficiency which is controlled by introducing the enzyme in powder form over the dogs food. Since starting this treament my dog has re-gained his original weight, coat and disposition. My problem now is that every scrap of food I give to him has to have this powder on it or his body cannot digest it and we end up with stomach problems. Consequently I haven't fed him any treats since diagnosis because it just upsets his stomach. He loves clicker training and is very food driven but what do I do now that food has become a complicated issue?
