"Was the kind of "bread" described in Ezekiel 4 the normal kind of bread
eaten then and, if so, were the foods therein non-harmful to humans because
they were primitive and hadn't faced several thousand years of UN-natural
selection yet?"

From what I gather, sprouted grain bread (like Essene bread) was used in biblical times in which the gluten changes somewhat during the germination process and is more tolerant to the glutenally-sensitive.
