Coumadin, Anyone?
I would love to hear from any low carbers who are also on Coumadin. My husband will be having heart valve replacement and aortic aneurism repair on January 15th. He is 37, will be on Coumadin forever after surgery. Losing sixty pounds post-surgery is vital to his health. I started low carbing on December 25th and KNOW this is right for me--but am wondering, what about the heart patients out there on blood thinners? Avoiding Vitamin K, which is found in spinach and other green leafy vegetables, is important. There aren't any other restrictions, which may make this more simple than I originally thought.
Hope someone out there answers my call!
