DR Ginny - Is there anything special about your diet over the next couple of weeks? I'm just curious what foods you have to avoid, and what foods they encourage you eat.
DR Jose - as soon as they gave my first dose of Coumadin in the hospital they gave me the orange card that lists the dietary considerations:
-Avoid excessive amounts of foods high in vitamin K - broccoli, brussels sprouts, raw cucumber peel, endive, mustard greens, parsley, turnip greens, watercress, cabbage, spinach, kale, collards, and salads (that's pretty vague, huh?)
-No cranberry juice or cranberry products
-No alcohol
I suppose it could have been worse - it could have said no coffee or chocolate.
