Today, I had a food allergy test done because of an ugly acne upswing, and after over a year of vegetarianism, I find out that I'm allergic to soy. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got back the results of an allergy test I decided to get because I felt generally tired after meals. Turns out that I'm allergic to, among other things, meat (yep, is a thing), nuts (of course), milk, egg, rice, carrot, apple, yeast (as in bread), and even soy. Seems I'm allergic to… food. FML
Today, I finally saw a dermatologist due to my unusually severe acne. Now I know I actually have a rare disorder that makes me allergic to my own acne. FML
Today, I had an allergy test. Not only was I allergic to 35 out of the 40 items, they also found out that I'm allergic to the latex gloves my doctor happened to be wearing. Now my entire back is covered in a rash that will last at least another week. FML
Today, I found out that I'm allergic to bacon. FML
Today, I tried to blow my girlfriend's vegan parents minds by cooking them a tofu stir-fry. Being allergic to tofu but wanting to prove my cooking skills, I wore gloves and avoided touching my face. Somehow, I still managed to get it in my eye, causing an allergic reaction that made my face swell up like a balloon. Now her parents think I'm some sort of Martian. FML
Today, I saw the allergist, suspecting a shellfish allergy. I’m allergic to corn, peanuts, oranges, oats, perch, and salmon, but not shellfish. I have a freezer full of food I bought yesterday that I can’t eat. FML
Today, I told my girlfriend that I'm a vegan. She replied, "So, you're allergic to meat?" FML
Today, I finally went to have blood taken for an allergy test I really need. Afterwards, I had an allergic reaction to the bandaid they used on my arm. FML
Today, after years of my very poor diet finally resulted in a long overdue health scare, I declared I must try to live healthier. Also today, I was reminded of my hypersensitive gag reflex (I'm autistic), which causes my body to vehemently protest the consumption of a variety of healthy foods. This sucks. FML
Today, I got a new skin cream for my acne. I tested it on a small patch of skin just to make sure I wasn't allergic. I was, and the reaction didn't stay on that small patch of skin. My left arm is now almost entirely covered in a horrible rash. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

People, seriously, shut the hell up on hating vegetarians. It's a personal choice, and if they're not pushing it on you, then you have no right to be pushing them to eat meat. There are entire countries with the majority of it's people being vegetarian. Do you hate on them? And I really doubt some of you are !00% carnivores. You can't survive on just meat, just so you know. There are other things you can eat besides soy products, and there are other alternatives. Also, you guys aren't being witty or funny with your comments saying, "Oh too bad, just go eat a steak and get over it." You're just sounding like an idiot.

#85 clearly we are talking about people who choose to be vegetarian, and if you kept eating it im sure eventually you'd get used to it :P

You're retarded. If I keep eating it, I will keep throwing up. Why do you have so many issues with people making different lifestyle choices than you? What are you so afraid of?

I don't miss any of it, meat, dairy, eggs. My digestion is always on track now, no uncomfortable surprises, my skin is clearer than it's ever been, my hair is shiny, I have tons more energy, and I just feel overall healthier. In becoming a vegetarian I learned more about what my body needs than I would have had I stuck to the standard shitty American diet of fatty fat fat food that makes our whole country obese.

#118 - An overpopulation of animals if we didn't eat meat? That doesn't even make sense... If there are so many of them that need getting rid of then why on earth are they bred in such great numbers in captivity and injected with hormones solely for the purpose of being consumed? Anyway its silly to really judge people based solely on their dietary choice. Just because one person thinks their opinion is right doesn't mean they should go around imposing it on others, especially over something as trivial as food choice. How does someone eating meat (or not eating it) affect you (particularly when its someone over the internet you don't even know). Back to the OP: That sucks. But there are plenty of other alternative sources of protein to meat and soy. And its a good thing you found out, even if it did take a year.

#43: People who think the same as I do are awesome. People who don't think the same as I do totally suck ass. There is no middle ground. There is no compromise. DEATH TO NON-ME-THINKERS! Being a vegetarian is irrelevant to this FML. Do you know how many things contain soy? That would SUCK to be allergic to soy.

Has everyone here forgotten about organic meat? Not all meat is dirty or pumped with hormones people. Our bodies, true, are not meant to eat a lot of meat, but they are meant to eat SOME. Our cavemen brothers were primarily vegetarian but dined on red meat about once a week when they brought down deer or rabbit or whatever. That is the healthiest diet. Eat lots of fish and chicken. Have red meat only once or twice a week, and in very small amounts. PS- I'm not a vegetarian. I am very into nutrition though and strict vegetarianism is not healthy.

Um, **** everyone who's saying YDI for being a vegetarian. Some of us don't like meat, that's all. No one here is telling you you should be a vegetarian, so quit attacking them.
