Is colored cotton really bad to use for a castor oil pack?

Ok my boyfriend has lots of gastrointestional problems. I have been doing a lot of research on natural healing methods and I came a cross castor oil pack remedy. I accidentally used colored cotton shirts to make it. I just read that you are supposed to use white cotton or white flannel. I am worried I hurt him rather than helped him by not following the directions properly. Please tell me if any harm can come from using colored cotton.

No, the dyed fabric won't hurt him, especially since I'm sure what you used is old shirts that have been washed many times. It doesn't have to be flannel, either, just works best to contain the oil. Most health food stores stock the undyed flannel in a handy size just for these castor oil packs.
