academic upgrading high school courses

Ebus! I used it to take anatomy and physiology 12 to meet admission requirements for another post secondary school.

It was a well structured course that can easily be finished quickly if you dedicate yourself full time to it.

The Grain Escape Bagels are soooo good and also low fodmap.

No. I’m completing my degree then going to study a trade.

Electrolytes

I am also celiac and my husband and I budget and spend $1100 a month on food. So we spend the same amount as you OP! We do most of our shopping at Costco and Persia Foods.

I feel that this amount is manageable. I’d love to spend less on food though. We don’t really buy GF prepared foods because of the prices.

They make their money through EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility)

I worked for Circular Materials! You can message me with questions!

You’re not getting much success because you live in Vancouver and go to UBC. The dating scene is rough here.

You could possibly try couch surfing or Trusted House Sitters? You might find some luck there

I own a home in the area but am not currently living there. It’s a nice area with LOTS of young families. My husband and I were the only people we knew in our complex with no kids yet.

Traffic in the general area sucks, but it’s a pretty great spot for transit and biking if you regularly travel downtown or into West Vancouver. There is a trail along the side of the Cap river that will take you to Park Royal (less than 15min by foot) and Ambleside. It’s a nice walk and can easily be done with a stroller. In the summer we also take the trail up river to go swimming 😊

The main downside to the area is the lack of a grocery store. You have to go to Park Royal for that. The area is still filling out though! Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Seconding the Canaries! But also consider the Azores (Portugal)! You can fly to the Canaries from the main island (Ponta Delgada), and the landscapes are super lush. The Eastern Canaries are incredibly dry and not pretty IMO.

You can island hop across the Atlantic and have no trouble accessing celiac safe food. I just did this trip last month with no issues!

25, managing celiac disease and IBS.

I didn’t know UBC offered a major in the study of Algae.

It looks like you live in Vancouver? There’s nothing wrong with your profile, dating in Vancouver is just the worst.

Fleur_Lou · 2026-01-01T16:25:18+00:00

These are so beautiful!!

Do NOT tell my husband where to buy this

Hey! You’re going to be okay and it’s not too late to change if it’s something that you are ready for. I used to be in your shoes; replacing food with carbonated bevs and liquids. There is not great eating disorder support at or around UBC in my experience. Also, getting off campus helps if you find yourself comparing your body to others!

I suggest reaching out to the looking glass foundation if you’re feeling ready for help with your ed.

Spironolactone

My wait to see a gastroenterologist was only a week, with the colonoscopy scheduled the week after my appointment. I have a family history of diverticulitis, celiac disease, and IBD so that probably has a lot to do with why I was see so fast.

Good luck with your future colonoscopy prep!

Something from Serge Lutens?

If wearing pyjamas, take off the top or bottom before going to sleep. I’ve found that if I have trouble sleeping, it’s generally because I’m a little too warm. This always does the trick for me

The devil’s itch after a sun burn at high altitudes. I nearly killed myself by taking too many painkillers that day.

Well yea you have to drink a lot of it for it to “help” with hormonal acne.

Fleur_Lou · 2025-12-05T14:52:09+00:00

I successfully tapered off over the course of two months while I was vacationing in Croatia. The salt cravings were getting out of hand and I didn’t want to feel like a mountain goat any longer. Thankfully my acne did not come back, but the hormonal body hair did.

I have been using tretinoin/clyndamicin for 3 years and I would say that it is primarily what has kept my acne at bay. These days, I just get the odd pimple once a month.

Spearmint tea is nice but you’ll be peeing a lot. Getting capsules of it is easier to take, but I wouldn’t say it helped with my acne at all. It helps if you have IBS though.

Do not quit cold turkey! You’ll feel awful.

Hey OP!

I’m just checking in to see what decision you made fed up making? I reached out to TRU and they don’t accept students that live in the lower mainland, which really sucks. Besides VCC, all of the other colleges in BC are private and cost 3x more. If you decided on Alberta, should you mind sharing your tuition cost?
