We don't like it. It's just OK for french toast, but otherwise, not great.

Its pretty gross. It works well as a doorstop though.

Check out Kinnikinnick or the Whole Foods Bakery stuff if you have access to them.

Daughter liked one kind only. I believe it was fruit and nut. She spit the others out. My mom tried some and spit them out.

The problem I had with them is the slices are very sticky and crumbly. You buy it frozen and must first defrost it to try to get the slices apart. I tried to pry the frozen slices apart and they just wouldn't go. When I defrosted the loaf, the slices sort of dried out. I was lucky to get 4 usable slices from the loaf. The rest just crumbled up and made a mess.

Daughter likes some of the Ener-G bread. I know a lot of people complain about it. She likes the Rice Starch Loaf, the Thin Sliced Tapioca Loaf and the Corn Loaf. We usually buy the 2 slice packages. Yes, it's expensive this way but she is the only one in the family who eats it and if we buy a loaf, most of it goes to waste anyway because she can't/won't eat it fast enough. She likes it heated in the microwave or toasted. I can't do this when I make a sandwich for her school lunch, but she eats it anyway. Sometimes on the way to dance class, I make her a small sandwich with the warmed Tapioca Loaf, some meat, faux butter and a piece of rice cheese. She likes it so much she wolfs it right down.

We also buy their buns. She likes the Rice and the Seattle Brown. Once again though, it's hard for her to eat the whole package before it goes bad. Yes, there are four buns per package, but she doesn't like to eat the same thing day after day.

Other things she likes are the pizza crusts, some of the cookies, donuts, cinnamon rolls, pound cake, chocolate chip snack bars, crackers and pretzels.

Boy did this bring back memories. This was the only bread we had available for a while and I used to just make my DD's sandwich for school the same way. She always complained it fell to pieces as she ate it. Then I discovered that the bread is parbaked. It has to be microwaved or toasted to finish cooking. I would zap it when I got up and then let it cool to room temp before I made her sandwich or make it the night before and stick it in the frig if the filling needed to be kept cold. It really helps a lot.

If you can find it Kinnickinnick is great. If you can't they do have a website that you could order from.

OP I found the Food for Life bread really gross. Different folks have different tastes though and someone must like it cause they still sell it.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
