Are there any foods that are anti-vitamin K?
Hello friends,
A year ago I had an emergency surgery for a condition known as “aortic dissection”. It was a real surprise to me because I had no idea my heart had any sort of problem to begin with…
Anyways, I have an artificial heart valve and in order to keep my blood from clotting on it, I have to take a medicine called Coumaden (it makes the blood clot less easily). I’m told by my Dr’s that Vitamin K has some impact on the blood (it basically undoes the effect of the Coumaden) Does anyone know of a food(s) that occurs naturally which has the same effect as Coumaden? I’m not looking for a substitute from my daily coumaden pills, but I’d just like to know something I can eat to help offset the vitamin k foods I eat (eg. lettuce I eat when I visit Subway for lunch)
Thanks!!

Hello.
I don’t think you will be able to get away from Comidin /Warfarin.
I’ve been taking it for 4 years.
The trick is to eat a consistent diet and the dose will adjust to what is necessary to keep your PT where it needs to be.
Don’t play games with ” natural” foods / drugs. The consequences are stroke or heart attack.
