I could buy some like that in NY. I think it was Sara Lee. Haven't seen it
here. Roman Meal is fairly low carb per slice but it contains stuff I don't
want to eat. Either soy flour or HFCS. Can't remember which. Silver Hills
makes a diabetic bread. Looks like they changed the name to Steady Eddie. I
never found it in a store though.

I used to eat the flax and it looks like it also has a cutesy name now.

You can get that at Costco but you have to buy two loaves at a time. It
tastes really good but flax is a laxative and...well... Let's just say that
I didn't need it.

There is also Ezekiel bread which is higher in fiber and lower in carbs:

Or you could use pita bread. Or what I did before I realized that rye was
an issue for me was to buy those little "party" rye loaves. The slices are
very tiny so might be difficult for things like sliced meats. But work fine
for something like chicken salad. You can pile it high on one piece and eat
it like that.
