By the time the Fellowship reaches Lothlorien, it appears to have become either less magical or less important, and many Elves seem to have access to it. Lembas in Doriath was probably invented/created by Melian the Maia, and she was in charge of its distribution. Oh, and it's not super-food like it is when Beleg and Turin use it. It apparently healed people back when Melian made it. True, however it was only give by melian to very few, even among elves. It was considered a great gift.
