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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

#9: Learn how to comprehend what you read. She was having outbreaks BECAUSE she has been eating soy for the past year. #194: Eat a STAKE? really? I believe you mean a steak, not an apparatus used to tether tents to the ground. That sucks! Try using products (like fake chicken nuggets) that are made out of Quinoa. I believe the Amy's brand makes some fake meat products out of quinoa. The anti-vegetarian comments are both sad and hilarious.

Woah, that must suck. I imagine if you ate it for a whole year, you must be in pretty bad shape now :( I say FYL, but not really - there are many things you could be eating for protein beside soy. I know, easy for me to say since I eat lots of soy, but I think if you eat nuts, mushrooms, potatoes, rice, etc, that should do it. There are many vegetarian recipes out there for consistent dishes without soy. Get well :)

#224 / Xboxman: I don't need an excuse to eat meat. I like it, and it's good for me. If you don't like it, don't eat it.

YDI for being a vegetarian. How could you not notice for a whole year that you are allergic to soy?

yeah, sorry, but this is why vegetarianism is stupid. god made the animals for us to eat them, and our bodies were designed to thrive on veggies AND meat. the whole reason your brain is as big as it is is because your ancestors ate meat. stop crying about whether or not your food had a face and give your body the nutrients it needs.

I don't understand vegetarians who go for fake meat as a direct substitute for the meat they've been eating, to be honest. I had a friend do that and I was like, "You became a vegetarian to get away from meat and now you're shoving the fake stuff in your mouth like it's candy. All that salt can't be good for you." She also only ate just bread and like two other vegetables. Needless to say, she's not a very good vegetarian. But I don't mind people who do vegetarianism the "right" way... meaning you eat your vegetables and get a nice variety of food.
