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!
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.
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.
I would like to eat more vegetables in my diet but I hate vegetables. 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.
Please try to eat consistent amounts of Vitamin K. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, kale, collard greens, cabbage, and salad greens are some sources of Vitamin K, but there are many others. If you are taking salad every day or other foods rich in Vitamin K, you must eat similar amounts each week. Do not suddenly change your diet or go on a “binge” of a favorite food as this will affect your INR. Your nurse or dietitian may give you a list of Vitamin K content of foods.
I always assume vegetables are good for me. Are there any I should be avoiding or limiting how much of it I eat?
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.
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.
Hi
Thanks for your reply, I will go to the link you suggested i was supposed to go for another blood test two weeks ago, but my doctor has moved 33 miles away from me now, and i have to rely on a ride to get there,
my INR levels are usually still checked every two weeks, but I have gone a month before now,
Do you find it strange that when my INR levels are a little high, my doc tells me to eat more green leafy vegetables for the week, she does this rather than adjust my warfarin,
I have be
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.
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.
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.

I am on 2,5 every night.
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 ?
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. Good luck with whatever choice is made, but I would opt for the Warfarin.
It seems to be something he is eating that is green, green vegetables or the candy you mentioned. Try stopping the candy and see if his bowels return to normal.
I know this is an odd question, but I've had green urine not cloudy just light green. unless I drink a lot then it turns yellow. this has happened for years. looked it up before and it stated it may be food dye. Didn't think about it till my twin 4 year olds peed in the toilet and didn't flush and it is light green. We don't eat the same foods. Is this normal? I tested positive, could they?
