Throw up castor oil

As a child I always got a dose of the awful oil but one time when I was about 5 I threw it up and then is when the enemas and mostly glycerin suppositories started.

Anyone else throw up the nasty castor oil?

I got Castor Oil as well as a child. It was mixed with root beer soda, orange juice, and a few times with hot chocolate. It was always in a glass or cup I couldn't see through and told to drink it right down.

When my mom gave me Castor Oil as a kid I felt nauseated by the horrible taste and texture of it, but I never threw it up. A few times she tried mixing it into orange juice to cover the taste but I could still taste it and I developed a dislike of orange juice because my mind seemed to link it to the taste of Castor Oil.

I don't think I was ever given castor oil. However I've always heard that on the day I was born, my mother woke up with very bad gas pains. I wasn't due for a couple weeks yet so she drank half a bottle of castor oil to clear her system. Within four hours or so that gas pain turned out to be me. Later that evening, at the nursery viewing window my father told our neighbors "there's that gas pain she woke up with."

I think that Castor Oil was rather routinely used in the1940s to "induce" labor. My mother often told her story like a badge of courage.

I only had to take Castor Oil once or twice that I can remember of course it was to promote bowel movements. I have fantasized about taking castor oil just to cause an uncontrollable urge to evacuate. I've always chickened out because I wasn't sure that I would have enough time to get rid of it all in the time I had available.

In Italy, during the fascist dictatorship of Benito Mussolini in the 20's and 30's, Castor Oil was forcefully administered to political dissidents to humiliate them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castor_oil#Punishment

The dirty work was done by the Blackshirts Squadrons, a brutal political police similar to the German SS.

The product was commercially called "Olio di Ricino" and was used also in the medical field as strong laxative.

It is really a bad way in forcing a person to swallow castor oil. Swallowing castor oil should exclusively be realized in a volontury manner. It is really a pity that taking castor oil orally is regarded comparable to an extreme sort of a punishment. In swallowing castor oil you will have the most efficient manner in excreting the toxins deposed in your liver. In order to cover the bad taste of castor oil there exist several possiblities. You will have to choose which of these ones will the best for you.

Oh no, vomiting castor oil? I certainly wished I could vomit it but I didn't want to taste it again so soon. I didn't take it willingly but had to as an X-ray prep. As for curing allergies and metal detoxification I'm sure you've all heard me before. Not a snowflake's chance in hell.

Liquidsky, don't you think that vomiting an oil might cause a bad case of aspiration pneumonitis?

It certainly could cause aspiration pneumonitis. That wouldn't be fun in the slightest. Lipoid pneumonia.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_pneumonia

In order to avoid aspiration pneumonitis I suppose it will be the best in taking your dose of 2 oz castor oil either in the American manner together with orange juice or in the Russian manner together with concentrated alcohol, for castor oil is not soluble in water but in alcohol; so the bad taste of castor oil will be covered completely.

It wouldn't matter if the castor oil was mixed with something else. If aspirated into the lungs it would still cause lipoid pneumonia. It would just be complicated by carrot juice, marinara or whatever the diluent is. Oh I'm sorry. I'm flogging a dead horse here.

Never used Castor Oil. Had a similar experience however with Magnesium Citrate.

I would say the solution is probably the same

Put a pillow in front of the toilet, and kneel at the toilet with your knees on the pillow.

With as little food in your stomach as possible drink some water at least 5-10 minutes before you kneel down.

Then take a stadium cup of ice water in one hand, and a bottle of Magnesium citrate in the other.

Take a sip of magnesium citrate, and immediately a sip of water. Then allow the bitter after taste to start to die down, and take another sip of water. Repeat until the magnesium citrate is all the way in.

Then stay there for 5-7 minutes just to be sure. Keep it down if you possibly can.

With Magnesium Citrate, I have found that if I strictly avoid the cherry flavor and get either the lemon or grape, the gag reflex is weaker and I can keep it down with some effort.

Try that with castor oil, and see if you get the same result.

Since you haven't ever taken castor oil, I don't think you don't appreciate the taste and consistency. Those are the things that lead to nausea and vomiting. Taking Castor oil a little bit at a time makes that worse, not better. The best way to take Castor Oil is as Switchablesusie suggests: put it in a blender with a strongly flavored juice (I like V8, but Tomato would probably work as well), and blend well.

The tiny droplets formed float over the taste buds and don't adhere to the anything in the mouth. No taste, no nasty consistency. Switchablesusie says it is like drinking marinara sauce.

I got suppositories, but never enemas or castor oil!!!

In inserting suppositories you will be able to cleanse the lower part of your colon. In swallowing a good dose castor oil (generally 2 oz) you will be able to cleanse not only your bowels completely but further your liver too, for all the toxins you have taken up generally with the food are not deposed in the intestines but in the liver.

Please do not get into another discussion about castor oil cleansing the liver. It does not relate to this thread, and it's been covered ad nauseam (which does relate).

I've always gotten it mixed in chocolate milk to secure stronger action and no taste... if rp calls for an "old fashioned purge", i do get it spoonful by spoonful, i've gotten a bit nauseous, but no throwing up so far....

I had castor oil a couple of times and I hated the taste

One summer (between 7th and 8th grade) I got to spend 2 months at my uncles ranch in Nebraska. One day I complained of a stomach ache & my Aunt Edna said I needed some castor oil. I told her "no" it tasted yukky. She gave me a choice, Castor oil or an enema !

I pretended to think about it (I was excited because I liked getting enemas), I said enema.

So she leads me upstairs to the bathroom and I got an enema, She had this all white bulb and nozzle, had to take off my pants and underpants and lay over a towel on a small stool.

While I was undressing she told me that she's going to take my Temperature to see if I had a fever. When I laid over the stool, she stuck a thermometer up my butt. I got the enema afterwards.

Never had castor oil.

I've had it twice and didn't vomit but I should have.

I've taken castor oil-1/2 C. for a colon prep and nearly gagged on it. Since then I've heard to take it through a straw placed in the back of the mouth to avoid the tongue.

Back in 1970 I had my first bout with kidney stones and was hospitalized for them. I was going to have an IVP done the next day for evaluation of the stones. For clean out prior to the IVP, I was given six ounces of castor oil to drink. It was very thick and sorry folks, I couldn't keep it down.

One of the nurses on the floor I was on suggested mixing the oil with some orange juice. She said it wouldn't thin the oil down but would make it more palatable. I was given more oil and some OJ which I did mix in. I did not thin it down, but it was easier to swallow with having the OJ mixed in. Luckily enough I passed the stones during the night, still got the IVP and no more stones were found, that time.

Curley, I thought in the 70's, an IVP required enemas til clear to visualize both ureters. Was the castor oil a preliminary to multiple enemas?

In the 70's at Ohio State Univ. Hospital the director of surgery, Robt. Zollinger, M.D. was a notorious ogre to residents and interns. One of his surgical residents ordered castor oil for a patient and The Big Z found out about it. He had cups full of castor oil prepared for every intern/resident on his service and made them all drink it. He told them all that they would NEVER order that stuff again for anyone and had made them drink it to show them why. I called on a few of the Docs who trained under The Big Z and they always remembered that horrible experience and would not ever Rx castor oil.

My mom had it in her youth and would never subject me to her terrible experience; she went right to SSE's as a more pleasant alternative, so I've never tasted that vile stuff but was intimately familiar with Ivory soap enemas. From ages 2-6 I hated them, but by age 8 I grew to like them and by age 9 I was sneaking them on my own. Thanks Mom.

I was a patient in one of those"backwards" hospitals where Castor Oil was the preferred treatment instead of using enemas, In fact, in that hospital the only way to get an enema was to have a Barium Enema. The Hospital Was Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, Indiana which was supposed to be a teaching hospital for nurses attending Ball State University.

When I had my IVP in the '70s I had to take two ounces of Neoloid. This was castor oil with flavoring. It was god awful. After explosive diarrhea and cramps I had to be NPO after midnight. I had to have two enemas in the morning. After that I was so wrung out that I could barely walk up to the hospital. It wasn't one bit fun!

I have never had Castor Oil but I have always wanted to try it, does that make me weird or adventurous?

Sharbrian: I was in your position once and bought some "odorless, tasteless" castor oil from Walgreens. I was just curious, having always heard awful stories about it as a child. I've tried it a bunch of times now, as a way of emptying out preliminarily before a series of enemas. It takes about six hours for it to work on me. The thick viscosity is tough to take and I gagged on it the first time, but the Walgreen's brand doesn't seem to have the kind of unpleasant taste others remember. I'd be curious to know where one gets the "hard stuff" that was used for constipation when I was a child and that has such an imposing reputation.

In her youth, my mom was subjected to castor oil and to cod liver oil. She HATED them both, As a result, she vowed to never do that to me, so I never had to swallow those vile things. She was not that way about enemas (she also got lots of them during her youth), so I got many enemas in my youth, through Jr. High, when she let me take my own. She was embarrassed by my pubic hair and my erections. Taking them alone was great, cause I could have massive orgasms while doing them.

I have never had Castor Oil but, I have always wanted to try it; does that make me weird or adventurous?

If you’ve never had it, wanting to try it it makes you adventurous. If after having it once you still want to try it again, it makes you weird. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that 😉 )
