Really disappointed, at 3.4g per slice this was the only bread I could eat. Does anyone know where else I can get it, or do I need to look at baking my own?
 
are you sure they stopped? or just out of stock?
 
Waitrose here in Staines has only had it in stock on one occasion in the past 6 months. Not sure if it sells quickly but . . . . . . .
Just never in stock. Decent bread too, for a low carb loaf.



Late onset T1, several auto immune issues.
Humalogmix25 twice a day, Methotrexate 25mg once per week, FolicAcid 5mg once per week, prednisolone 5mg daily, Allopurinol 300mg, Calcichew-D3 800iu, Levothyroxine 50mcg, Atenolol 50mg, Losarten 100mg, Aspirin 75mg, Nicorandil 20mg, Nitrolingual GTN spray, Metformin 2000mg, Allimemazine 10mg, Lanzoprazole 30mg, Atorvastatin 20mg, Co Codamol 8/500mg, Depo Medrone (Methylprednisolone) or double Prednisolone for 7 days in case of RA flare.
 
It is still on their website. Do you mean your branch has stopped selling it?
 
People on here were reporting some Waitrose shops were selling it on BOGOFF, which to me looks like they were trying to get rid of stocks.

I think that was weeks ago. I bought several for the freezer. I hope Waitrose keep stocking it as it is very tasty.
 
Well they have removed it from the shelves at my local waitrose, and replaced it with other breads (there is no label on the shelf edge which suggests they have stopped stocking it). This is my local waitrose, there are no others for miles around but I suppose I could consider getting a delivery nad paying the charges if I buy enough to stock the freezer up for a while. It was on bogoff recently which at the time I thought was great, looks like it is not that popular. I guess most folks like their bread carby. I do wish major supermarkets would even begin to cater to those on a low carb diet, after all you can get low gluten bread and stuff like that in the free from aisle, but it does seem that us low carbers are not a popular proposition for them.
 
On the Livlife website, you can contact them....i've done it this morning.

Just tell them your shop where you used to purchase it from and ask them to use the contact details to forward on to Waitrose or Morrisons etc...

The more people contact them anout not being able to get their products from certain stores and certain towns, the more weight they have with the retailers who don't give their customers the choices we want.

Or contact Waitrose with details.. They may send a good will voucher too???!!

Hi Lenny, very happy to make your day! Please note though that our lovely loaves will be on our shelves from Monday 20th October, so we won't be in this weekend. Thanks for your patience!

Ok, maybe next weekend then, thats even better cos it's pay day next week!
 
Hi All, a bit of bad news I’m afraid. Due to a technical glitch there is a slight delay in getting our bread to the supermarket shelves - but have no fear it will be there as soon possible (within a week hopefully). In the mean time you can still buy it online http://www.livlifefoods.co.uk/#buy-online. Will update you as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience and support.
