You could’ve had your broccoli, what you couldn’t do is to suddenly change the amounts of the greens you did eat! It’s the sudden level changes of Vitamin k in your diet that causes the issue! If you were used to eating a given amount of green veggies a week, the docs would have adjusted the amount of coumadin to compensate.

Of course that is a moot point for your situation currently but it might not be for others!

Thanks, Doc - sure didn’t know that, was not told that - just told broccoli was out.

But the main thing is no way I’ll go on Coumadin unless I’m dying.....my father was on it for the last 15 years of his life (died at 93 in his sleep) due to afib...........
