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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

#55, you're joking, right? You do realize that 80% of the world eats meat, right? Way to generalize a good 5 billion or so people. Moron.

Alright guys, I understand that everyone has their own opinions and beliefs and that's fine. You can talk about your beliefs all you want and try to get others to join with you. However, sitting here on Fmylife, bashing others beliefs, and aguing is not the way to go about it. Everyone's body is different. This means that tastes, food allergies, and tolerance for certain substances are different. I don't want to be mean, but please just GTFO it and move on with your lives. If you want to argue go on chatrooms and message boards, not Fmylife.

That sucks SO MUCH! I'm veggy too, long term. If you care, you COULD go with the Quorn brand fake meat, which uses mushroom protein instead of soy, if you were vegan, rice milk, and eat beans etc. for more fake meat. Quorn is the most realistic fake meat, though. I'm sure there are more brands like it, but Quorn is in Stop and Shop, Shaws, and sometimes Pricerite at the least.

You should stick to semen for your protein needs. After all, at least it's 1) less gay (if you're a straight male) or 2) way friendlier (if you're a gay man or str8 woman).

How on earth can people say that you deserve this for being vegetarian? Because you want to spare the lives of tortured, defenseless animals, you don't deserve to be able to eat a replacement food without a horrible outbreak of acne?? BTW, I'm vegan, and I really don't eat that much soy anyway. Sucks that there's trace amounts of it in everything though.

There's nothing wrong with being a vegetarian! All you guys who said YDI because of that fail. Try to be more openminded.

BTW: many people who have soy allergies also struggle with dairy. Something to keep in mind

That's terrible. Not sure if you just started eating soy or not (the way you stated it made it sound like the outbreak wasn't too long ago), but that really does suck, especially since soy hot dogs are the ******* best. :( But as others have said, there are alternatives!
