In this short, Dr. Tabatha Barber shares her personal gluten‑free story. Influenced by two aunts with celiac disease, she had intermittent gluten‑free experience, but when trying to conceive she committed to a strict gluten‑free diet for ten years. She describes a deep cognitive dissonance between the Christian metaphor of "Jesus is the bread of life" and her fear and shame around eating bread, leading her to rely on alternatives like almond‑flour bread. After learning about freshly milled flour, she becomes curious about re‑introducing real bread, signaling a shift in her perspective on diet, faith, and health.

So I was like, yeah, I'll go gluten-free. Went gluten-free and stayed gluten-free for 10 years. Well, first of all, I always had this cognitive dissonance. I'm like, Jesus is the bread of life. Yeah, I am. I'm afraid of bread. I haven't eaten bread, or I'm making like almond flour bread and all these things, which can be great alternatives. Perfectly fine. But I was like, gosh, I just had this kind of shame around eating bread. And I was like, this doesn't make any sense. God, you know, Jesus is the bread of life. So when I heard this information about this freshly milled flour, I was like, all right, I'll start listening.
