Avatar n tn If you drink, please consider cutting back or stoping entirely. Avoiding green leafy vegetables is a must with Warfarin, but there are other vegetables that you can eat that will help beef up your vitamins, nutrients and fiber intake. Good luck, and KEEP working with your doctor. Staying on top of this is the best way to keep yourself healthy!
Avatar f tn The amount of vitamin K in your diet may affect your response to warfarin. Certain foods (like green, leafy vegetables) have high amounts of vitamin K and can decrease your INR. You do not have to avoid foods high in vitamin K, but it is very important to try to maintain a consistent diet every week. Alcohol use also may affect your response to warfarin. Excessive use can lead to a sharp rise in your INR. It is best to avoid alcohol while you are taking warfarin.
1796911 tn?1315605346 I am a vegan, so my options are limited, but are there green vegetables that i can eat in moderation.
Avatar f tn I am doing very well eating 1000 Kcal per day with a small abount or carbs (under 25) and otherwise lots of green vegetables and fish (Salmon only once a week) , then some extra lean turkey. Really feel great with the diet. But I started moderate exercise as soon as I was released from the Hospital. I walk on a treadmill for 30 minutes at 3.5mph then I do various lite weight lifting (Nautilus rocker equipment) I have lost 10 lbs since my Hospital visit.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, Thyroidectomy 2005, Levoxyl 137, 64 y.o., hair loss, weight gain, sluggishness, etc., as reported by many. I've just found this site after years of thinking these symptoms would be my state for ever, but am now encouraged by all your posts to check my levels of free T3 and T4 more frequently, and try some different dosages.
942410 tn?1274047074 s why I am not going to be injecting the Lovenox any longer and today I skip my 5mg warfarin . I begin again the 5mg warfarin on Saturday and go for protime on Monday to see if it has come down a tad into the target range .
Avatar f tn Is there some good snack ideas but still low in calories and gives me my daily vegetables needs. I do like carrots corn green beans and greens.
Avatar f tn This depends of the theory of eating -- there are quite a lot. It also depends on if you have arthritis -- nightshades, for example, can make it worse. There are always foods that are better, neutral, and not so good within every category, but since there are so many theories of eating, and different food tolerances, this isn't answerable in general but only in a way that's specific way to you.
Avatar m tn I am now in my 6th year with the mech valve and on warfarin. It is definitely NOT true that you have to avoid green vegetables and other foods that have vitamin K. What you do have to do is eat approximately the same amount of such foods over the course of about a one to two-week period as you do in the next one to two-week period. If you just eat what you like, you will tend to do that naturally. It's not hard. Also, avoid binge drinking, as mentioned above.
Avatar n tn I was put on Warfarin immediately and have been on it ever since. Six weeks after starting the Warfarin, I had another TEE and the clots were 90% gone. They tried for seven and a half hours to do the ablation, but were not successful unfortunately. I will be on the Warfarin forever, but that is fine because you can’t eat leafy green veggies when you are on it and I despise green veggies so now I have the best excuse not to eat them.
Avatar m tn Lead a more disciplined life, avoid any kind of cut or injury, keep a close watch on your PT/INR and be in constant touch with your Primary Physician. Avoid over use of salads and green-leafy vegetables, since they counteract the effects of Warfarin. Seek the company of positive people and always see the lighter side to things; learn the capacity of laughing at yourself, not taking yourself too seriously.
Avatar f tn Or if you are taking a lot of aspirin or anticoagulants... like coumadin .. warfarin. These are not normally taken and require a prescription in the USA. Vitamin K comes from lots of foods, including fresh greens as in cold salad and in many cooked green vegetables. Most mufti-vitamins sold in the USA contain a supplemental amount of K. Wishing a quick and easy answer.
Avatar m tn I have been on Coumadin/Warfarin for at least 10 years, more I think... and have never had a problem with running or bike riding, or using my table or radial arm saw, or a chain saw.... When I accidentally cut myself, always minor, I think it bleeds a bit more than if I had full coagulation, but I've never had trouble stopping the bleeding. I also do not have much trouble maintaining the correct INR range of 2 to 3.
Avatar n tn If you have a clotting disorder I wouldn't stop the aspirin without talking to your doctor! What is your disorder? I have 2 genetic factors for clots, prothrombin and lupus anticoagulant. I could give you a list of foods and supplements that will thin your blood but not knowing how much it will take to thin your blood you could have more clots. At age 60 I had 3 clots in my left lung and 2 in the right lung.
1488195 tn?1288153991 Warfarin is best suited, in areas of slowly-running blood, such as in veins and the pooled blood behind artificial and natural valves, and pooled in dysfunctional cardiac atria. So common clinical indications for warfarin use are atrial fibrillation, the presence of artificial heart valves, deep venous thrombosis (clots), and pulmonary embolism (where the embolized clots first form in veins).
Avatar f tn Can I eat Cooked rice mixed with cucumber and carrots and string beans and snow peas with sesame oil and soy bean paste and eat kimchi with it.
Avatar n tn the best are green leafy vegetables. Vegetables provide the antioxidants that protect us from harmful changes in our bodies. Green tea, if it's real green tea, is a very potent source of antioxidants, but you gotta eat. Again, you need to study nutrition, because diet is the most important part of losing weight and keeping It off.
Avatar f tn I have a blood clot in my right lung was put on this warfarin drug i am not eating any of the green stuff and for some reason my inr goes up it will be good for a week like 2.8 then go up to 5.6 or 5.1 my doc has me stop for 2 days then do more blood work and sometimes it goes down or higher have any clue why ?

Avatar f tn my poo is green.I don't really eat vegetables but I've been taking lemon water.Today it was so runny.Does anyone know what the problem is ?
Avatar m tn I have been in Afib for 3 years straight now and I have also been on Warfarin for that same period of time. Some doctors will prescribe an 81 mg coated tablet of aspirin as an alternative to Warfarin if your risk factors are not that great. My suggestion is to get as many opinions as you can and don't let anyone tell you different.
