8Bit_Diaper

I have never had an issue with bananas in the past. I eat them everyday normally! Never any Latex reactions either which is why I have made the assumption it was the suppository. I know google is never the best means of seeking medical advice but my searches did seem to suggest all the symptoms I had matched the allergic reaction to glycerin. I have tried marshmallows with great results so its not all bad :) Thanks for the support!

Hey everyone, I'm very new to these forums and have loved reading through all the posts and stories an awesome community! I just wanted to reach out and share my scary and disappointing attempt at the famous banana dare. Apologies if this has already been discussed, however I wasn't able to find anything during my searches. To set the scent I have been reading up all about the method over the last week and was very much looking forward to giving it a shot over the weekend. once my wife left for work I set to work. I went forward with a glycerin suppository, as that was the only easily available option here in AUS. I then followed that up with approximately 5 banana halves. Now I was getting excited Not long into it I began to get the discomfort and satisfaction that has been discussed in detail from a lot of other users posts, however I noticed that my eyes started to get a bit puffy. I figured it was just from the strain of holding back so I continued. Not long after I noticed that my nose was a little stuffy and my asthma flared up. I still wasn't too concerned at this point. I thought it would be a good challenge to get up to grab my inhaler anyway. Not long after using my puffer I started getting a little concerned. I looked in the mirror and my face had truly started swelling up and my asthma didn't really settle as it usually did. I decided at this point something was a little off and bailed on the entire thing. My swelling increased and asthma worsened. After jumping online it was immediately clear that, although rare, I must be allergic to glycerin! I began to panic. It was suggested online that a trip to the ER might be needed especially if you are having trouble breathing. I was devastated as my first time back in the game was going to end like this! and how would I explain this to my wife as she has no idea! I proceeded to grab a anti histamine, maintain my inhaler and monitor my situation. If needed I would certainly head to the ER but I wanted to see if it would subside naturally. Lucky for me it did, after about three hours. I was hoping my first post on here would be one of great achievement and excitement but sadly has turned into a bit of a public service announcement. Although rare, I would truly recommend, before using certain products, to confirm without a doubt that you will have no adverse effects. I had heard no stories about anyone having issues with this and felt it would all be relatively safe but was quickly mistaken. I am all good now and ready to get back on the horse Thank you for hearing me out and always be safe.
