Castor Oil followed by enemas

Has anyone experienced taking Castor Oil and then having a series of soapsuds enemas? This has been suggested to me as a remedy for severe constipation due to drugs taken for asthma. I would rather not take this route but I might not have a choice since a simple enema does not seem to be doing the job. Both my mother and mother in law are nurses and they both are pushing the idea and want to do this by the weekend.

Swallow 3-4 ounces of castor oil blended into 12 ounces of tomato juice. The taste and texture of the castor oil will be completely masked, and it will be kind of like a marinara sauce. That will clean you out from the top down. You can follow with an enema if you like, but it won't be necessary. As far as your drug induced constipation is concerned, this is only a temporary fix.

How long does it take the castor oil to work?

When I was 16, I had to prep for a barium enema. I took a large dose of castor oil at about 4 PM. This was to be followed by soapy enemas until clear the next morning.

About 8 PM, the castor oil started giving me bad cramps. They got so bad that I had to put a hot water bottle on my abdomen. Finally, about midnight, I was able to take a dump. I was up all night long on and off of the toilet. The diarrhea got pretty bad. When I did the enemas the next morning, I was already pretty cleaned out. The second enema came back out clear enough to head off to the test.

DO NOT USE TURPENTINE ENEMAS.

TURPENTINE IS A DANGEROUS CHEMICAL.

Never used Castor Oil.

Recently, I took an Epsom Salt and Soapsuds, then a dose of Milk Of Magnesia, then another soapsuds enema.

From my experience I know, that in taking enemas after having swallowed a good dose of Castor Oil it will not be possible to reduce the total time to the last excretion, for this time is determined exclusively from the amount of the poisons deliberated in the liver.

I've used it in the past, Foul tasting never tried to mask it. I cramped badly in the night, couldnt sleep then the diarrhea started, which i didn't mind, but it went on for a long time. For a few days the oil must of still been in my system as i had loose stools & i was worried about leaking though, thankfully i didn't.

When I was a kid, during the Easter holidays every year 3 of my cousins and I were given a "Spring Cleaning" over 3 days that included laxatives, worm medicine and enemas. It started at suppertime on the first day when we were fed prunes stewed in Senna tea for dessert, then at bedtime we were given a large dose of Castor Oil, followed the next morning by a hot soapsuds enema. This was to empty our bowels completely in preparation for a day of starvation and treatment with worm medicine and more Senna tea. Then at bedtime that night we were given a large dose of Epsom Salts, followed the next morning with another hot soapsuds enema. After that cleanout it was several days before any of us had our next bowel movement.

I have tried castor oil - took 2 oz and tasted HORRIBLE. Not only did it clean out everything inside me, but when I started eating again it went right through me too! It took hours to start to work, but I read somewhere later that you should drink a cup of tea or hot water every 15 minutes after taking the castor oil - it works much more quickly, and still causes lots of cramping and cleans EVERYTHING out.

Nobody is obliged that the swallowing of 2 oz Castor Oil must be terrible. In the case that you shall take this dose in the form of an emulsion you will not have any problems with the taste:

- Put the dose of 2 oz Castor Oil in the Tuppwerware Quick Shake Container.

- Fill this up with fridged orange juice or carrot juice.

- Shake the container for five minutes.

- Drink the emulsion quickly, this on an empty stomach (e. g. early in the morning, not having breakfasted).

I have a lazy colon along with it being very winding. I may be empty in the rectum but things get caught up around bends causing pains. I have to purge my bowels every 4 months to keep things from blocking up. I also have to do an enema every 2 weeks. The purge is as follows

6:00am 10 ounces of Cit-rate of Magnesium

6:30am 2 ounces of Castor Oil

7:00am Take a fleet enema

It all works in a series. The fleet enema automatically gets the bottom area flowing. Between 8:00-8:30am the Cit-rate kicks in and as it wears the Castor Oil takes over. I have to drink warm beverages during the day and if I eat it is light. My system is cleaned good by the end of the day. The following day I have to take 2 cleansing enemas.

I find that it takes about 3 to 4 hours after a 3 tablespoon dose of castor oil. Try getting the castor oil that has less taste (it's noted on the bottle label) and mixing it with some cold orange juice. Then, gulp it quickly

Congratulations! Here in Europe Castor Oil tasteless and odorless is not available. You will have to swallow this one in the original version.

This procedure sounds like it might be intensely fun. When I get my castor oil I'm going to take a large dose and then after it begins to work, I will follow with multiple soapy enemas.

Not castor oil, but I have taken Dulcolax a couple of hours before. I have also done Magnesium Citrate immediately after.

I've never tasted castor oil. When I was growing up in the 50's mom went right for the enema equipment at any sign of illness. Her enema ritual cleaned you out just as good or better than any laxative.

LisaK:

In order to move the bowels there exists a decisive difference in swallowing Dulcolax pills or a good dose Castor Oil: In taking Dulcolax pills you will be exclusively able to cleanse the colon, this comparable with a high enema, but in swallowing Castor Oil you be able to cleanse your bowels totally.

Just one additional thought. I've heard that castor oil is helpful to remove genital warts, so there's an added bonus to castor enemas if you have any unsightly bumps near your hole you want to get rid of.

Yesterday I tried the castor oil followed by enemas procedure. I took 4 oz. of castor oil at 3PM. At 4PM I took a 1.5 qt enema with 8oz of glycerine and held it till 4:15. Then the castor oil kicked in and I had repeated expulsions. I experienced mild cramps, but very strong urgency sensations. I took another enema with Ivory soap at 5PM, by then i was mostly empty and I finished off with tap water rinses via a colon tube. It was intense but very enjoyable.

Next time I will try the Miralax (polyethylene glycol) 100g. in a quart of Gatorade. That goes through in about 2 hours. Then I will follow with multiple soapy enemas.

Yes! Very explosive. Love the out of control feeling

Castor oil is totally disgusting. I have taken it plain or emulsified as Neloid. It tastes terrible and is nauseating. Yes it works in the small bowel too but the cramps and urgency are formidable. I have taken it only as a bowel prep for X-ray procedures. I much prefer enemas since one never knows how long it will take to work. I am not impressed that it detoxifies the liver either.

Do you know that the saliva contains lipases like the secret of the pancreas? - In taking 1 oz Castor Oil in your mouth and mixing this with the saliva for 15 minutes before swallowing this, you will not have any problems with the bad taste and the high viscosity of this stuff. In repeating this, you will have taken the recommended dose of 2 oz Castor Oil for adults.

Keep it in your mouth for fifteen minutes? What a horror show! I can't even imagine doing that. It tastes terrible. The last time I checked taste buds were in the mouth and the sense of smell nearby. If you want a total bowel clean out try Golytely. Your gut will be clean as a whistle. No thanks to both for me.

It may be unimaginable for you but I have never had any problems in mixing 1 oz Castor Oil with the saliva for 15 minutes in my mouth for I have never remarked at the taste of Castor Oil in doing this. In swallowing the prepared Castor Oil this fluid is a sort of a tasteless syrup.

I agree with you liquidsky. How in the world can keeping something you hate in your mouth for 15 minutes make you dislike it less?

Castor oil is anything but tasteless and the sensation of the oil is positively disgusting.

There is no way I could ever stand taking castor oil. However, I have found Epsom salt enemas to work extremely well. It gives an explosive and thorough clean out and yet is very soothing. I used to use soap but found that to be unhealthy as the soap kills the good gut bacteria.

Some amendments:

(1) In the case that you will take 1/2 oz (= 15 ml) castor oil in your mouth and mix this there with your saliva for 30 minutes before swallowing this one you will not have any problems with the taste of castor oil for the receptors concerning the taste of castor oil are not in the front of the mouth but at the back. Further castor oil will become runny and will not disturb the mucosa of the stomach. I have found this out after lengthy consideration for in my courses I have had to attend lectures in chemistry too.

(2) In the case that you will not have a really bad long lasting constipation a large tablespoon (½ oz = 15 ml) castor oil will be sufficient for a good bowel cleansing. Take this dosage in your mouth and mix this there with your saliva for half an hour before swallowing this one. In this manner

- the bad taste of castor oil will disappear,

- castor oil will lose its high viscosity,

- the mucosa of your stomach will not be irritated.

(3) In the case that you will take a high volume tap water enema (3 quarts) after the first evacuations due to the activity of castor oil in your bowels that your large intestine will be completely cleansed, you will not have any urge to go to the bathroom for hours.

Ok. Last week I took 4 bisacolyl pills looking for a complete clean out, it was a disappointment. My stomach gurgled a bit, gave me some minor diarrhea for awhile but no thorough poop.

Now I see Castor oil, miralax and golytely mentioned. Which one is best for a thorough clean out leaving no poop behind?

I got a 2 oz bottle of chocolate flavored castor oil in the hospital once on an empty stomach. This was to clean out the barium I drank earlier in the day to get me ready for a barium enema in the morning.

It made my stomach cramp and rumble so loud for a couple hours (no urge to poop), my roommate heard it. An hour later i started pooping my brains out. The force was so strong my room mate heard that through the closed bathroom door. It left my anus so raw that the nurse plastered me with diaper cream after it was all over. I still got a couple hot soapy enemas before bed which made me poop a few more times overnight. I wish she would have given me a rinse out so I could sleep.

She woke me up at 5:30am with another soapy bag that I had to hold on a bedpan for 15 min (not sure why). This whole process was done with my roommate watching as there were no curtains in the room. There was a track in the ceiling, but no curtains. I dont know which was more embarrassing, getting the enemas or having to hold and poop the last one out on the bedpan.

How does the golitely and miralax work in comparison.

Some remarks:

- In order to avoid a disturbed night's sleep take your dosage of castor oil exclusively in the morning on an empty stomach, not having breakfasted.

- After the first evacuations due to the effectiveness of the castor oil in the intestines take a high volume enema, this in order to cleanse your large intestine completely.
