Mineral Oil/Constipation

Warning: this could be considered a foodment issue...
Ok, I finally broke down and tried the mineral oil like my doctor recommended. Now, I only took 1 teaspoon, even though the directions said 1-3 tablespoons. But I COULD NOT bare the idea of drinking that much oil. So gross! It didn't really have a taste or smell, which is good, but the idea and knowledge that I was drinking oil about made me gag.
Anyway, it's been 16 hours and nothing. (Maybe if I did the tablespoon something would have happened in the 6-8 hours it said it would take.)
Just wanted to update those who have read my other posts on colace and/or constipation...
