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.

I am a rebublican and I love meat. Vegitarians are liberal fad followers.

55- So, you're saying that just because people eat meat, that makes them Republicans? You, young man/lady, are the reason why us liberals have such a bad name for being stuck-up bitches. You can eat meat or you cannot; either way, it has no correlation to your party identity. I am extremely liberal, but I enjoy my steaks. Very much so, thank you. I couldn't care either way if people eat meat or not, just as long as they're healthy.

So political correctness nowadays leaves vegetarians out? Shame... shame... OP: beans, mushrooms, whole cereals, and unless you are vegan, dairy + eggs. Soy is far from essential in a vegetarian diet. And to those of you with the canine speech: open up a sheep's mouth: yep, it has canines too... P.S. Not vegetarian, I used to be as closed-minded as some here until some time ago, though...

You know, this fml might sound silly to some But it took me my entire life to figure out that I am allergic to wheat, barley and rye. I have celiac disease and wasn't even aware , or diagnosed, until I was 20. :P

Bummer! Fortunately there are many vegetarian-friendly alternatives to soy, if you're interested. :o) As your sister in soy-love, I've got your back. Here is a small offer of informative links: http://hubpages.com/hub/Alternatives-to-Soy-Proteins-for-Vegetarians http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/836827/how_to_eat_vegan_when_youre_allergic.html?cat=5 Enjoy!
