Today, marks 2 weeks since I got Oral Allergy Syndrome, a.k.a. randomly becoming allergic to apples, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes, mangos, carrots, celery, beets, sunflower seeds, fennel, my toothpaste, and more things I just haven't tried yet. I'm vegan. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
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 decided to try an alternative to peanut butter, since I found out I was allergic a while back. Two hours later I had to be sent home because the allegedly allergen-free SunButter caused my lips and throat to swell and patches of rashes to form all over my body. FML
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
Today, I found out I'm allergic to soil, pollen, dust, mold, the colors green, yellow, orange, black and grey, most metals, wood, carpet, drywall, most hygiene and beauty products, and plastic. Basically, I was told to avoid the entire planet and everything man-made. FML
Today, I got excited when I learned that the fruit on the trees by my apartment building was ripe and free to pick. I picked myself some juicy summer plums and enjoyed them. Minutes later, my tongue started burning painfully. Turns out, I'm allergic to plums. FML
Today, I came down with painful sores in my mouth, just after having gotten over a cold. Apparently I'm allergic to the cough drops I've been eating for the past week to make myself feel better. 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 was eating a mystery flavored candy and I had an allergic reaction. Not only did I have to go to the hospital because my throat swelled up, but I still don't know what I'm allergic to. 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 tried to do my leaf collection project for biology, which ended with me being hospitalized because of an allergy attack. I have no idea what I'm allergic to, but my doctor says I should just assume I'm "allergic to all leaves, ever." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thank you, your FML was submitted, and will appear the moderation soon!

That would be funny as hell if meat turned out to be the only thing you weren't allergic to.

Beeing healthier than the average american isn't really a big accomplishment.

YDI for picking a diet and lifestyle that goes against your human nature.

No actually. Being vegan or vegetarian is much more natural. Fuckwitt.

So, not trying to bash or anything, but what has being vegan got to do with this?

Because almost all of their newfound allergies are fruits and veggies, which are staples of a vegan's diet.

because vegans love saying they're vegan

OP I also have OAS; I'm not sure if it would be the same for you, but if you eat any of those things cooked, it shouldn't be a problem for you. This might not be the case seeing as how you're allergic to your own toothpaste, so if you haven't consulted a doctor I suggest you do so. Good luck!

that's what cutting out too much food does. you'll probably need to see an allergist specialist to de- sensitise you. also get blood workup in case it's an autoimmune disorder.

That's not how Oral Allergy Syndrome works. It's also probably not how regular allergies form, not that there's any concrete information on how allergies develop.

No lol **** you're an idiot. How many people are vegan? They don't all have allergies! Do some research 🙄🤦🏽♀️

Sounds like you may need to reconsider that for your own health. Or maybe you can find a way to eat that works for you. Either way, best of luck OP.

i'm a vegetarian who is allergic/intolerant to almost every fruit & vegetable, and blood tests shows that I don't have any deficiencies and I don't get hungrier than most people. You'll be able to work round it with grains, beans etc. It's easier than it seems :)
