Worst-tasting Oral laxative

I got it straight out of that little brown bottle. One teaspoon every morning with two teaspoons of mineral oil for a chaser. Well it kind of helped take away the taste.

By far castor oil!!! @starrynight the cherry flavor one is better than the sprite looking one but not like you would want to order it out for a drink though😃

Magnesium citrate tastes pretty horrible. Imagine if somebody left a Sprite out open for a few hours, then dumped salt into it. That's what it tastes like.

Very good description of the taste. Not the worst I've ever had, but not pleasant either. I'm sticking with Miralax in a pleasant-tasting liquid.

Cod liver oil definitely!

I think that's for vitamin-something-or-other (back when there was more concern over vitamins) instead of laxative.

Castor oil definitely gets my vote!

Castor oil is terrible. We used to use it for mixing with gasoline to run in Go Carts. I actually like the smell of castor oil in the exhaust but swallowing it is a whole other animal.

Could the Castor Oil be frozen in some small ice cubes and then swollen to overcome the ? taste?

The worst tasting laxative is probably Glauber's Salt aka Sodium Sulphate. If you think Epsom Salt tastes bad, this is much worse.

In fact, although it's a fast acting, powerful saline laxative, it is rarely used today, except in Bowel Prep solutions like GoLYTELY.

If you can get and keep it down, you will poo.

Castor oil the worst tasting oral laxative.

I was going to say the same thing.... We usually got Mineral Oil as a kid and hated it, occasionally Castor Oil.

If you want foul and fast a saline product .

If you want awfull and humiliating because people think they are still farting when they fill there pants Castor Oil is your man .

There's a reason it's both a laxative & a historical punishment of re education .

No, this is wrong, for this depends exclusively of the manner in which you will take your dose castor oil. Recently I have found out the optimal manner to swallow 2 oz castor oil in a very comfortable way: Early in the morning, not having breakfasted, take 1 oz castor oil in your mouth and mix this there with your saliva for 15 minutes before swallowing this one. In this manner the castor oil will lose its bad taste and its high viscosity and will not irritate your stomach. Half an hour later repeat this procedure with a second dose of 1 oz castor oil. Your will be astonished upon the gentle increasing development of the bowel movement.

Castor Oil has my vote as the worst tasting laxative. I had only a few times as kid because my mom was enema mom. The dosing was first thing in the morning before breakfast.

I have also experienced a few times as an adult. Last year by an older woman in a domestic discipline I arrived early morning and got a dose when I arrived. I had forgotten the terrible taste and consistency and also the cramping and multiple trips to the bathroom when it kicked in. Not pleasant but it was part of discipline. I rather take an enema from the other end and I know sometimes enemas are unpleasant depending on the solution and why it is administered.

I do not have much experience with other laxatives other than magnesium citrate and the Dulax tablets as prep for a colonoscopy. But this I considered mild in comparison to the castor oil experiences.

Concerning taking castor oil I may remark: Practice makes perfect!
