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.

Non-fermented soy isn't a health food anyway and is actually very BAD for you. This includes: Tofu, flour, soy milk and quite a few other products. Drink raw (non-pasteurized) milk and eat meat from local farms that you buy directly from and can trust. The benefits from doing this is amazing. And try studying food before you dive into believing media hypes.

#139 learn to take a ******* joke. by doing the :p i was clearly being silly. And anyways your little throw up episodes with meat is probably just psychological. You have it in your head i bet that meat is gross slaughtered animals blahblah. This is a totally different subject but the sight of poop used to make me pretty much throw up in my mouth. Until i started working at the dog kennel i sucked it up and now i could touch it with my hands if i wanted to. This is is just an example.

#295 / Polionixon: Not necessarily. If you decide to be a vegetarian, after a while your body stops producing some of the enzymes you need to properly digest meat. The same goes for some of the probiotics that serve the same purpose. If you have gone without meat for a long time, it is... unwise... to suddenly jump right back into it. The REASON you went without meat is irrelevant. The physiological impact is real. I can easily see someone having severe GI issues from eating meat after having none for a long period. This is assuming there is not an allergy issue as well. If not, then it is as you say. After a while, eating small amounts of meat - preferably with some probiotics to ease the transition - will restore your ability to deal with it physically. Psychologically? That's a different matter. But assuming that you are persistent and don't rush things, you'd get over it and be able to eat meat again. Abrupt changes of any kind are hard on a person.

thanks for correcting me i suppose. I wasn't basing my theory off of any facts. Just experience.
