		<description>I&#039;ve been on Coumadin for five years and had a lot of these kinds of questions when I started. Two pieces of advice. Don&#039;t get too caught up in the exact amounts of vitamin K. They will not only vary from list to list, but no two pieces of food will have the exact amount in them. What you need to do is just be aware of what foods are high in vitamin K. 

Also, she doesn&#039;t have to avoid these foods, she just has to eat them consistently. If she loves having a salad every day, she should keep eating them. She just can&#039;t suddenly stop eating them. If she likes broccoli, she should eat it once or twice a week, every week. Or broccoli one week and spinach the next. Whatever she does, just be consistent. 

The biggest thing to watch out for, almost more than foods, is medications. She should be careful about any medications and supplements she takes. Some things like excedrine, ibuprofen, some cold medicines, even pepto bismol can thin your blood too much. Other medications or supplements can stop your body from absorbing vitamin k, which will render the blood thinner useless. She should ask her doctor before taking any other medications.</description>
