Judi, is your diet carb limited, too, or just calorie limited? As a diabetic, I've found some very low carb, yet tasty forms of bread-like things in my area.
We have a chain of stores in New England called Market Basket. Their store brand reduced calorie sliced bread has only 1-2 carbs and 35 calories/slice, and comes in a ton of varieties (italian, white, oatmeal, multi-grain, whole grain, etc.). It actually tastes like real bread, not cardboard.
There are also low cal/low carb sandwich wraps. I forgot the brand I use (it's in an red-orange package, and brags about being made with flax seed oil), but they're great. Some lettuce, cucumber, cheese, deli turkey, and condiments (I use a tomato basil vinaigrette) and you have a big, filling, yummy sandwich for not a lot of calories or carbs. It's enough to satisfy me for 5-6 hours.
Also, look into protein powder. You can find it in a lot of places... definitely in a place like GNC. It comes in a variety of flavors (generic, vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter), and can be something of a flour substitute. I wouldn't do a 1:1 swap, but you can bake with it.
Dunno if this will help, but I hope it does.
