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.

No, vegetarians are awesome. People who think otherwise aren't.

fuckthiscity: Exactly, which is why peanuts, beans, and other legumes have proteins in them. Some salads actually have nuts, beans, etc. in them.

You should definitely not be eating so much soy, regardless. Chances are you developed an allergy by eating too much of it. Stay away from that shit. Eat real food.

Ydi for being a vegetarian our mouths and bodies our designed to eat meat, our ancestors started developing larger brains when they stopped foraging and began hunting, and besides, have you ever seen a hot veg? Not eating meat is probably what caused your acne. Still, it's your decision, I really couldn't care less I just won't do it.

You really couldn't care less, huh? That's why you made it a point to take a few minutes out of your day to blast something that has NO impact on you? I love how vegetarians are hated for being preachy and harpy, and...well, just read through these posts here...ha...yeah, you guys are the chill, open-minded ones. I haven't eaten meat in over nine years and I've never touched soy. There are other ways.

You're probably eating too many soy substitute products. Try eating the real thing every once and a while.

#50-How does NOT eating meat cause acne? That's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
