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

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.

144 - while you are correct healthy people should have a balance between all meat and vegatarianism if they are going to get what they need from food, any one who has a heart or neurological problem increases their health significantly by eating all meat. People with severe neurological problems aren't just put on high meat diets - they are specifically forbidden from all fruit (because it prevents the channels in their brain from functioning correctly), and many vegetables - most commonly carrots, broccoli, peas, all soy (because of the estrogen in it which destroys the myelin sheath on your brain cells - something they have little to none of in the first place). Before it was known that these people shouldn't eat fruits and most vegetables, the treatment for them was periods of starvation. Now its known they can get the same benefits as starvation periods, without the drawbacks, by having the bulk of their food come from the most fatty meats. Over 90 percent of people with neurological problems who eat strictly adhere to eating this way can reduce or eliminate the need for medication and have normal life expectancy. Cardiovascular disease and stroke has a 50-70 percent reduction when eating a diet high in red meats and fatty oils (the healthy ones like olive). No one in the high fat test groups has yet to die from a repeat heart attack - though several have died in the more vegatarian and US food pyramid test groups since they've been studying this over the past 10 years

Although I'm not a vegetarian, I do feel for you. I hope you can find a substitute for the soy! Good Luck!

AnaDoll Sorry, but you are indeed ignorant. I have no problem with vegitarians. i mean thats now how we are genetically. We are clearly omnivores. Bears eat mostly vegetables and the likes, mostly because meat is difficult to attain in the wild. It isnt for us. Therefor one can conclude its only natural for us to eat it. Though i agree we eat far to much red meat

Proud liberal is a pompous ass. Proud liberal's logic is that everyone who thinks slightly different from him is a republican. GTFO the internet.

I know I already commented but this point needs to be stressed: you jerks keep your ignorant comments to yourself. Vegetarianism is NOT wrong. It is wrong to judge a person on what they eat or don't eat. Now, go eat twice the daily recommended amount of meat like most other Americans do. While you do that, here are some things to check out: http://www.vernoncoleman.com/eatingfor.htm http://www.emagazine.com/view/?142 http://why-vegetarian.blogspot.com/2007/07/why-eating-meat-is-bad-for-you.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIjanhKqVC4 Have fun.
