Best Answer
Yes.
The rules regarding giant frogs say:
The frog is no longer slowed down to half movement by the grappled creature (Player's Handbook, p195) once the creature is swallowed. So unless the creature's weight heavily encumbers the frog (if using the encumbrance variant), it can move normally. Remember, however:
So it loses that option after it swallows a creature. Until the DM decides the target is no longer swallowed, anyway, likely via digestion.
