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.

Not sure about where you guys live, but here where I live soy products are quite essential for vegetarian food. Tofu, soy milk, soy protein, etc. So I hope you don't live around here. I'm not a vegetarian, but I hate this kind of disrepect to personal preference from the comments above.

look, vegan and vegetarian diets dont make sense. at all. they go against nature. if we as humans weren't meant to eat meat, our digestive systems wouldn't have evolved to this point and wouldn't be capable to handling something like that.

Vegetarians rock! More power to you. I started as well. And to all those meat eaters, remember the atrocious condition of most factory farms where the majority of livestock are raised. No living thing deserves that, especially ones that are as intelligent as dogs (pigs).

And all the people on here who posted that meat is required to stay healthy are full of shit. If you have ever heard of India you would know that its population is packed with vegetarians and they manage to maintain healthy lifestyles. It is proven that there are alternative methods to obtain the nutrients found in meat. Protein: nuts, soy (which OP apparently can't have), and beans Red meat is proven to be detrimental to your health, anyways. It's preposterous to suggest that OP deserved it because eating meat is "natural." We're humans! What do we eat that's natural? We would have to eat all food raw. Any use of oil or spices is out of the question, much less preservatives. A study shows that the majority of the food we eat is bad for us.

OMG how is this deserved by being a vegetarian??? i'm a vegetarian but i eat fish and shrimp so i can still eat at restraunts and at other peoples houses without being too picky. i am very healthy. its a very good decision to make if you do it the right way!!! i have slimmed down since i stopped eating meat and i feel great. FYL! and those who say YDI for being vegetarian can go play with themselves in the corner cuz they're too closed-minded to realize that people can be perfectly happy and healthy without meat in their diet!! and good luck without soy... you'll figure something out, i'm sure there are a lot of vegetarians out there who are allergic to it also.
