I thought this would be a good place to put this reference for people who can't have nut butter. Apparently this place makes a 'sweet potato' butter that can be used to replace nut butters.
This is a really good site, by the way. I came across it trying to find info. on arrowroot today.

Sweet potato breads, muffins, crackers, cookies and nut butters are particularly appropriate for promoting weight gain. The best of all is the white sweet potato nut butter. Made of only whole white sweet potato flour and oil, the white sweet potato flour is moistened by oil instead of water, producing a nut butter substitute that is high in complex carbohydrates and soluble fiber as well as fats. This makes it an easily digestible, highly nutritional and highly caloric food. Spread on a dense piece of bread or on dense crackers, and with added jams, the result is the maximum number of calories possible per bite, and some super great taste!
