Thanks for the data.
My friend is on MediCare (my wife informed me) and Kaiser via the Ca Teacher’s retirement program. So he is covered.
He is on Coumadin and is a good user after his 3rd episode.
He does need to drink more water.
What is behind this “Leafy greens - avoid them”?
Full of vitamin K, which decreases prothrombin time.
I've been on warfarin for nearly ten years because of atrial fibrillation, which can cause blood clots. Eventually you learn how to eat to keep your prothrombin time (INR) within a specific range
Vitamin K (in leafy greens) nullifies the Coumadin/Warfarin.
http://www.ptinr.com has a good database of Vitamin K values for foods, but my husband just avoids a short list of them completely (spinach, kale, collard greens, mustard greens, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts) and eats the rest in moderation.
