First- do you toast the bread? I find Ener-g foods bread inedible

untoasted, and i assume kinnikinnick is the same way. I like their

plain white rice bagels, toasted. Otherwise, i like Whole Foods GF

bakehouse bread. Food for life also has a rice tortilla, although I

don't know that I would recommend it cold with PB & J. There are

always rice crackers or rice/ popcorn cakes (although to be frank I

am SO over those - but maybe your little one would like them)'

However, I think the best GF bread is that homemade from Bette

Hagman recipes. Have you tried any from her " The Gluten Free Gourmet

Bakes Bread? " Some online recipes are good, although I'm really

picky. I've also heard good things about Carol Fenster's latest

book.

Besides the traditional P & J how about tuna salad in onigiri (rice

triangles wrapped in a sheet of nori)... they're very popular with

kids in japan, and really yummy. you can buy special plastic wrap in

japanese stores to keep the nori separate from the rice and thus

keep it crispy. Or, if you go thai, how about rice paper spring

rolls with whatever filling inside she likes. Traditionally chicken

or shrimp or (my option) tofu with veggies, but you could be

creative..

It is a sure shame to waste the money on

that bread if it doesn’t get eaten, eh? Maybe Rice cakes or popcorn

cakes. I found whole grain rice cakes at WF that even have some fiber. I think

homemade bread is better than anything we’ve bought, but I do like the

breads/English muffins from Foods by . There are also rice tortillas out

there—maybe two layers like a quesadilla, cut in quarters?

Or, how about slices of apples she can dip

in her peanut butter? Or pb and honey mixed up to dip them in? We like pb on

celery sticks also. Or just put the pbj in a little cup and give her a spoon! Add

on the side something to make up for lack of bread, though there is so little

nutrition in the tapioca bread, as I recall, that she’s not missing much

by skipping it.

Have you considered a spoon?

My son went through a phase (actually overlapped diagnosis) where he

would just eat the filling out of sandwiches, so I stopped wasting the

bread and just gave him a little bowl of peanut butter and a spoon.

(he also had sides like apple slices, dried fruit, carrots, etc. that

he could dip in the PB) Then we discovered you can buy Skippy in

little plastic tubes - perfect for lunch on the go. Gradually as his

appetite increased, he wanted his peanut butter on bread again.

The tapioca bread is also what we use, and you absolutely have to

toast it. It is gross otherwise. Does she want bread? I know

that " Living Without " magazine recommends using lettuce or greens as

sandwich wraps. I don't know how a 4 yr old would take to that,

though.
