Have never taken castor Oil. Constipation has always been a problem for me. My dr had me taking a swallow of mineral oil and tsp of benefiber every day. Both flavorless. Worked pretty good, but did cause some bloating and gas pains. I recently had foot surgery and one of the meds prescribed was a laxative called ducosate. ???Works some, but have gone back to my swallow of mineral oil added. Constipation is Tolerable now
I took unflavored fiber powder and mineral oil for a long time. It worked good. I stopped doing that and was going to eat a lot of fiber. Problem came back. There is not enough natural fiber in the world to unconstipate me so I started taking Benefiber again. Once a day: 1/2 teaspoon stirred into a cup of coffee or any liquid. More if you need it. The mineral oil helps too but makes "it" impossible to wipe away.
I take 4 gel caps caps psyllium every day. As long as I don't forget to take them it works pretty good for me. I use caster oil for dry skin.
Kimchi and big-ass salads!!!!!!
Not since I was a kid
