Gi: is castor oil safe & effective to dissolve/dislodge a minor food-related blockage in the hepatic flexure? swelling is occurring in cecal area.

Obstruction: It depends on what it is. Castor oil has been used for constipation in the past, However I think miralax (polyethylene glycol) is best today.
