Volunteer Programs In Peru

Hi everyone! I am looking into traveling to Peru with a volunteer program for 1-2 months and I'm hoping someone out there has done it before. I would love to do a homestay, where I live with a local family while I am there. I have found one program that says they can work with the family ahead of time and make sure I have access to the kitchen. Another program said they could set me up in an apartment so I could make my own meals. Has anyone had any experience like this? I'm a little nervous about doing the homestay, for obvious reasons, but from what I understand, the Peruvian diet is largely gluten-free, so it may not be that difficult to accomodate our diet. Any help you might have is MUCH appreciated!

      Agreed. Dairy is just as bad as gluten for me.

      Many probiotics start with growing the bacteria on a dairy substrate leaving traces of dairy in the probiotics.   Many Celiacs react to dairy in the same way as they react to gluten because certain protein chains in dairy resemble gluten protein chains.   @Wheatwacked ferments his own pickles.  Perhaps he can chime in.

      The AIP diet does have a vegetarian version.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne developed the AIP diet for herself and her children, all Celiacs.  The AIP diet has been shown in scientific studies to promote intestinal healing.  You might visit her website.  https://www.thepaleomom.com/
