If you take a blood thinner you are advised to avoid vitamin K sometimes. Does that apply to cabbage? (green leafy vegtables)

Yes cabbage is on the list my dr. gave me for dad. However, if you eat the same amount daily, the dosage can be adjusted to what is needed to keep you in range.

Yes, it does. That also includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts or any other green veggy. You can eat them but you have to make sure you eat the same amount every day so your dose of Coumadin(or Warfarin) can be regulated. With Coumadin, or any blood thinner, your diet should stay mostly the same although some variation is ok. Better your blood should be a little too thin than to risk a blood clot.
