Today, I was flipping through a magazine and saw an ad that had the line "No corn, no wheat, no soy", all of which I'm severely allergic to. I got so excited at the prospect of having a food I could eat, I fell out of my chair. I then realized it was an ad for dog food. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was so hungry that my mouth started watering during a dog food commercial. FML
Today, I saw a commercial for some sort of meaty beef dish. The camera zoomed in and my mouth watered because it looked so delicious. Then flashed the next scene: Golden Retrievers running through a field, then eating from their bowl. My mouth just watered for a dog food commercial. FML
Today, I grabbed a box of my favorite granola bars, the only flavor the brand makes without nuts, which I'm severely allergic to. A visit to the ER after my throat closed up told me that I'd missed the notice on the shelf, warning that they're now making them with peanuts. FML
Today, I found out my dog is allergic to all forms of animal. His new vegetarian food is $90 a bag, and he refuses to eat it. 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 have celiac disease. I also happen to be a baker and will be constantly reminded of all the wheat products I can no longer enjoy. 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 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've been on the verge of throwing up all day. Why? My dog is intolerant to grain, but grain-free dog food causes heart problems so she can't have that. Now our lives are filled with nasty farts and Hershey squirts with no end in sight. It's a rough time for us both. FML
Today, we live in a tiny trailer. My doctor said I have celiac disease. My dad, who takes things too literally, came back with gluten-free dog food. I don’t even have a dog. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just because it's for dogs doesn't mean it's inevitable.... Look at Shaggy and Scooby Snacks!

12- I'm allergic to chocolate! never heard of anybody else!! how did you kick it? though it's really not a bad allergy. chocolate is easy to avoid, even if it is so delicious. it's not in everything like corn, wheat, and soy.

37 - I was allergic to chocolate up until I was about 8, then it went away. The doctor said I either outgrew it or just ate so much of it that my body built up a tolerance. I absolutely love chocolate so it was terrible for me :P Go see an allergist if you're really concerned about getting over it. I wish you luck kicking your allergy 37!

Well dog food can't be that bad seeing how it's made of some of the stuff people eat.

Awe. You should search it if you want to eat something new so badly.

I did know a girl who loved to eat her pups treats in high school.

great example except that dog food probably doesn't come in a box that looks like a little kids coloring book...

just like that one FML about the lady eating bacon dog treats. they didn't hurt her and she liked them. so I think it's worth a try!

Almost everything has wheat in it. Ever read the ingredients?

Not really. Wheat, corn and soy are in a LOT of foods, it would be awful to have all three of those allergies. Also, I hope someday you, #1, can be excited about proper grammar.

Karmarebel, you have such a cool username. It's a shame that it will constantly be overlooked due to your failure to compose articulate posts. = The effort to properly communicate a simple point like the one in your post is minimal, I assure you.

I found Karma's post amusing and funny, even with the bad grammar. If you couldn't understand or comprehend what her comment said, then that's pretty sad on your part...

Not really. Think of the options she actually has to eat.
iChel413 6
Then think of everything she can't eat. I mean she is extremely limited.
