's message, "Castor Oil" on Thursday, May 03, 2012, 07:45: am
I was given castor oil, milk of magnesia, calomel, petrologar and other laxatives for my constipation as a kid growing up. All of these were preceded by an enema and followed by several enemas after the laxatives had time to work.

When I had constipation as a kid, I was given a soapy enema with a bag while lying face down on my bed. I had to wait until the enema caused a strong urge to poo then was allowed to run to the toilet.
Mom always sat on the tub rim next to me while I was releasing the enema to make sure it worked fully.
When she was satisfied the enema had been fully effective, she measured out a dose of Castoria or Milk of magnesia. I was given the laxative and a glass of water as I sat to "keep me going" as she put it.
