Now I find that ibuprofen can/does cause constipation in those over 60 (raises hand) and I have to take a herbal remedy to fix that. Never
did make sense to me to take one pill to fix the side effects of
another. So, I'm going to have to research something non-opioid to deal with the wonky foor. Opioids scare the s... not out of me.

You might have your Doc look into Tramadol. It is a controlled
substance but much less addictive than oxycodine. I have been taking
it for years to help with a variety of body aches. My primary doc minus
2 took me off of ibuprofen because of its side effects. Tylonol is
also a pain releivor that can be used in moderation, with possible
effects on the liver if abused. As I said, talk it over with your Doc.
Don't trust the internet.

I'm on it. I have an appointment at the orthopaedic centre next week.
I pay a fair whack for my Blue Cross supplement to the Medicare ... I
might as well get something for my money.

Title: Dave's Multi-Bean Stew
Categories: Beans, Chilies, Vegetables, Pork
Yield: 6 Servings

1/2 c Dried pinto beans
1/2 c Dried Great Northern Beans
1/2 c Dried Butter beans *
1/2 c Dried Chickpeas (garbanzos)
2 sl Thick-cut bacon
1 ts Bacon dripping from cooking
- bacon
1 md Onion; chopped coarse
3 cl Garlic; mashed
8 oz Can tomato puree or paste
8 oz Can El Pato tomato sauce **
2 ts Ground cumin
1 tb Chilli spice
Salt & pepper
1 md Bell pepper; cored, diced
1 Dried red chile; ground
Water; as needed

* Large white lima beans

** Spicy tomato sauce. If unavailable use an 8 oz can
of regular tomato sauce and a tablespoon of Trappey's
(or similar) Red Devil hot sauce.

Soak beans overnight, if desired. Then drain and add
fresh water. Boil the beans hard for 10 to 15 minutes
to kick start the conversion of the starches. Reduce
the heat to a nice four bubble simmer and cover the
pot. Cook until tender but not mushy.

NOTE: You can also crock-pot the beans after boiling.

Crisp cook the bacon in a largish non-stick skillet.
Reserve and crumble the cooked bacon to add into the
bean pot or sprinkle as a garnish. Pour off into the
drippings can all but sufficient dripping to saute'
the alliums.

Saute onion and garlic in bacon fat. Add tomato sauces,
chilli spice, salt & pepper, parsley and ground red
pepper with a little water.

Boil for 10-15 minutes. Add to beans and add the cumin
at this time, cook for 25 minutes or longer.

NOTE: This is a multi-bean standalone side dish version
of my chilli beans recipe. It will set your sinuses
free and your taste buds a-tingle.
