kombucha and warfarin

[1kokoro]

all these new drinks out, are warfarin patients allowed to drink them?

Some have ginger or mango listed as flavours or is any percentage of ingredient negligible in the effect on warfarin?

Thanks

If you have any queries about what foods or drinks you should avoid with any medication you take, speak with a pharmacist or your prescribing health professional, who are qualified to answer your question.

in addition to Lowerfield's suggestion you could check at your next anticoagulant clinic

when I was on warfarin I was given dietary info including information about foods which should be limited or avoided - but, more usefully, I was told that if these were routinely part of my diet I should avoid increasing how much of them I ate

e.g. the info listed several pulses and types of greens, but as my diet is largely meat free I eat a lot of these and wondered if I would have to change my diet a lot, but was reassured

you could try making your own kombucha then you could flavour it however you want and you would know exactly what is in it - also it will be tons cheaper and fresher that shop bought - I have several friends who do this - we have our own kefir culture and it works out at a fraction the price of shop bought
