There is lots of info on the net about what you can eat and can't eat I've been on Warfarin for over four years, I eat one or the other I don't ear too much green leafy veg if I go out for a meal I always ask what veg in on and if Kale and Broccoli is on I'll change one for Peas Taffy65.
Conversely I always ask for broccoli, cabbage etc if at all possible ! As long as it all balances up at the end that's all that matters .
You can eat as much green veg as you like as long as you are consistent.
Consistentcy being the byword.
I've been on warfarin for over 15 years so have learnt a few tricks !
Totally agree Yatsura. I've been on it 8 & half years and I increase or decrease my leafy green vegetables to control my INR.😊
It’s a balance taffy. If you eat green veg then your reading will be lower. If you drink alcohol then your reading will be higher. As long as your consistent it should be ok. I’ve been on warfarin for 32 years and test myself now. Warfarin has to fit into my life as much as possible. Good luck.
I was always told not to change my diet, and they will dose accordingly. Also do not eat one particular thing to extreme and maintain a balance. HAving said that it took 3 months to get in range for me.
I have an extremely erratic diet. For instance, one week is loads of salad and fruit, the next almost none. It does not seem to make any difference to my INR. I travel extensively each summer, and switch cultures, and again, no problems. If consistency works for you, fine. I do not even try.
I love Brussel Sprouts -- and have been told to avoid them and seen the evidence why. But, the body is well buffered. Therefore ONE splurge once in a while is not going to make much difference, though two or more days of splurging might.
We tend to forget that Vitamin K is manufactured by gut bacteria. This could be as high as 70% of our supply. That makes food intake a relatively small factor. It also raises serious questions about antibiotic use, and suggests stability will be improved by taking probiotics, either regularly, or from time to time. This is a testable hypothesis, and a harmless one for self experimentation.
I have found that fine tuning my dosing, down to 0.25mg far more important than diet. Across winter/summer eating patterns and across several cultures, I have found over the years that 5.0mg or 5.5mg gave me problems, but 5.25mg has given me suspiciously stable INR. Therefore, in my case, 0.25mg is far more important than diet.
