What Causes Abdominal Pain And Bloating With Back Pain?

I have been taking castor oil orally , but recently I tried a new brand that wasn't suitable for internal use, it was BP grade. however the bottle label never said this. I found out by ringing the company directly.
Since then I have had very bad tummy pain , worse after eating, bloating and pain in my back too..

Could taking tis castor oil BP chave caused this and ? Could it cause Gastritis?

Hello,

The abdominal pain with bloating is due to a side effect of castor oil causing gastric upset and intestine motility alterations through its prokinetic actions. In our clinic, we recommend stopping the further intake of castor oil, drink more liquids, dietary measures with proton pump inhibitors and antispasmodic medications will cover up the issue in 1-2 days.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
