My sister-in-law is on warfarin and (IIRC) she can’t eat broccoli — or any of the green vegetables. I suppose there’s a connection here and when my coffee kicks in maybe I’ll figure it out.

She might want to ask her cardiologist to try one of the many other anti-coagulant therapies available. I’m on two, and neither is Warfarin.

Same with my mother - on warfarin and died of a stroke.
She was told to stay away from broccoli and most green vegetables. This is conflicting info that my early morning brain can't process.

They wanted to put hubby on a blood thinner and we declined.

I would encourage her to take a different type of blood thinner.

Not getting any Vitamin K is crazy.

Doctors can compensate for the extra Vitamin K with warfarin, but she would need to eat a similar amount every day.
