“Just Diagnosed with Celiac? Here’s What to Eat—And Where to Find It Locally in New Hampshire”
New to celiac disease? Learn what foods are safe, what to avoid, and where to find handcrafted, 100% gluten-free baked goods near Kensington, NH.
Welcome to the Gluten-Free Life—Now What?
Getting diagnosed with celiac disease can be overwhelming. You’re suddenly navigating labels, avoiding cross-contamination, and wondering if anything you love can still be part of your diet.
Here at Five Frogs Farm in Kensington, NH, we understand the challenge—and we’re here to help. All our breads, cookies, bagels, and treats are 100% gluten-free and celiac-safe, so you can enjoy food again without fear.
But first, let’s cover the basics:
What Is Celiac Disease, Exactly?
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where eating gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye) damages the small intestine. For people with celiac, even small traces of gluten can cause:
- Digestive issues like bloating, cramping, or diarrhea
- Skin rashes
- Fatigue or brain fog
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Long-term complications if untreated
There’s no cure, but the solution is clear: a strict gluten-free diet for life.
What Can I Eat on a Gluten-Free Diet? (H2)
While it may feel restrictive at first, gluten-free eating can be rich, flavorful, and satisfying. Here’s a quick-start guide:
✅ Safe Foods (Naturally Gluten-Free):
- Fruits and vegetables
- Meat, poultry, and fish (unbreaded)
- Dairy
- Eggs
- Legumes and nuts
- Gluten-free grains like rice, corn, quinoa, and buckwheat
❌ Avoid These (Contain Gluten):
- Wheat, barley, rye
- Bread, bagels, pizza crust (unless labeled gluten-free)
- Pasta and crackers made with wheat
- Many processed or fried foods
- Most beers and malt beverages
And the trickiest part? Gluten often hides in sauces, soups, and even spice blends—so you need to read labels carefully.
Is “Gluten-Free” Always Safe?
Not always. For celiacs, a product must contain less than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten to be considered safe. That’s why it's so important to find dedicated gluten-free kitchens—like ours at Five Frogs Farm.
We only bake gluten-free, which means there’s zero risk of cross-contact from wheat or gluten-containing ingredients.
