Gave up bread, craving peanut butter: what do I do?

I've quit eating bread because it just causes nothing but stomach problems, but I really miss peanut butter and toast, and peanut butter in general. What can I do, or eat, to suffice my cravings? I've done spoonfuls of peanut butter straight out of the jar, which helps, but that gets old!

And, for the record, I've tried other types of bread (gluten free, all that....) and its the same, so I really can't eat bread, period!

    Peanut butter and banana smoothies.

    2 tbsp peanut butter (more or less to suit your tastes)
    1 banana
    1 cup milk (or more if it's too thick for you)

    Blend, pour into a cup, enjoy

    I like to chop up a banana and give the slices little peanut butter hats, it's actually my favourite way to eat peanut butter.

    It's good on celery, apples, carrots, bananas. In peanut sauces over chicken, veggies, tofu. Stirred into oatmeal, added to smoothies. Lots of things you can do with it!

    pair it with apple slices, put it on celery, add it to a protein shake, make a peanut satay sauce and serve with chicken, I could see how it would go well in plain vanilla yogurt, have a reece's cup.

    Sometimes if I have steamed rice with vegetables, I put half a teaspon of low sodium peanut butter in and stir it.
    It spreads very evenly and since its only 1/2 a teaspoon, its not crazy calories.

    Apply a spoon to the jar. Eat. Yum. (Hard to stop at one serving this way though.)

    I LOVE peanut butter & apples. I core the apple and slice it up, using it as a conduit for the yummy PB :)
