JMO, no intestinal challenged dog needs to be chewing on bullies (well, any dog for that matter). Edible meat chews like that can be full of bacteria which will be no help to him. They can be high in fat and are high and protein. That may or may not present a problem depending on the dog. The same could be said for antlers, but I don't think they are quite as edible, so at least they don't consume that much. However, there is still bacteria risk and things that are that hard are major tooth crackers. Wouldn't let them near my pups.

The CET chews may work (depends on his ingredient intolerances). They can be a choking hazard, so obviously be very careful. Anything that is edible can potentially irritate him just depending on what sets him off. Your vet thought that it was theoretically possible that this last case was pancreatitis. With that in mind, I would be very, very careful.
