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 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
Today, I had a serious allergic reaction to the food I ate at a Chinese restaurant that supposedly didn't contain peanuts. According to my waitress, peanut oil "doesn't count". 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.

Idgi...why are people so obsessed with trying to control other people's lifestyles? You like meat, you eat the meat, I'll stick to what feels right for my body and won't tell you what to do, so why the **** do you feel justified in judging my healthful, GOOD-FOR-YOU diet? It's this weird fear of the unknown, I really don't understand how people are so addicted to the standard American diet that they think anyone who eats differently is weird or wrong.

28 if you only eat meat you're a carnivore. OP your allergy can't be too serious if your only symptom was acne, at least you didn't get an allergic rash or have your throat swell up.... Lots of people have mild food allergies that they don't notice for years, if at all. They put their symptoms down to something else not the food.

I am a vegan. There's lots of alternatives to soy milk, and fake meats are too expensive to be worthwhile anyway. This isn't a huge loss.

OP: That sucks, and you hadn't noticed for a year? Why are people hating on vegetarians? I was a vegetarian and it's not because I hate meat, or anything. Meat tastes weird, and veggies/nuts/soy products are good for you. Just because you have the canines doesn't mean anything, we've evolved from eating mainly meats. Sure, we're omnivorves, but it's not needed to eat meat. Vegans and vegetarians still get the nutrients necessary for the body, and they don't eat meat/animal products/etc. So, how is it a HDI?
