Intro: Learning to Eat Gluten-Free Doesn’t Have to Be Overwhelming

If you’ve just been diagnosed with celiac disease, chances are your head is spinning. Suddenly, grocery shopping takes twice as long, and you’re questioning every slice of bread, cookie, and condiment.

The good news? There are more gluten-free food options than ever before, and at Five Frogs Farm, we’re here to make the transition delicious, not difficult.

In this blog, we break down:

  • What foods are naturally gluten-free
  • What to avoid
  • What “gluten-free” really means on a label
  • Plus: where to find 100% gluten-free baked goods made for celiacs, right here in New Hampshire.

What Is Celiac Disease, and Why Can’t You Eat Gluten?

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where your body attacks your own small intestine when you eat gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Even tiny amounts can trigger damage.

That means avoiding:

  • Regular breads, bagels, and baked goods
  • Pasta, cereals, and crackers made from wheat
  • Many sauces, soups, and processed foods with hidden gluten

There’s no cure—but a strict gluten-free diet helps your body heal and stay healthy.

Foods That Are Naturally Gluten-Free (Safe for Celiacs)

Here’s the good news: You don’t need to rely on “special” products to eat well. Many of the best whole foods are naturally gluten-free:

✅ Fruits & Vegetables

  • Apples, bananas, spinach, potatoes, carrots, berries—all safe

✅ Meat, Poultry, and Fish

  • As long as they’re unbreaded and not processed

✅ Dairy

  • Milk, cheese, butter, and yogurt (watch for additives)

✅ Gluten-Free Grains

  • Rice
  • Quinoa
  • Corn
  • Millet
  • Buckwheat
  • Certified gluten-free oats

✅ Legumes, Nuts & Seeds

  • Beans, lentils, chickpeas, almonds, peanut butter, sunflower seeds

✅ Eggs & Natural Oils

  • Great sources of protein and healthy fats

Foods to Avoid with Celiac Disease

If you're celiac, you need to avoid any food containing or processed with:

❌ Gluten-Containing Grains

  • Wheat (including spelt, durum, farro)
  • Barley
  • Rye
  • Triticale
  • Brewer’s yeast (sometimes contains barley)

❌ Baked Goods & Breads

  • Unless labeled and verified gluten-free

❌ Pasta, Crackers & Breakfast Cereals

  • Unless certified GF

❌ Beer and Malt Products

  • Choose gluten-free beer or cider instead

❌ Cross-Contaminated Foods

Even gluten-free ingredients can become unsafe if processed in shared kitchens. That’s why you need certified or dedicated gluten-free facilities—like ours.

What Does “Gluten-Free” on a Label Actually Mean?

According to the FDA, a product can be labeled "gluten-free" if it contains:

  • Less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten
  • No wheat, barley, or rye
  • No ingredients derived from gluten-containing grains (unless processed to remove gluten)

👉 But here’s the problem: many products are made in shared facilities, which means cross-contact is still a risk.

That’s why we bake all our goods in a dedicated, 100% gluten-free kitchen—safe for celiacs and gluten-intolerant eaters alike.
