Guest guest Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 That’s awesome, just one shake a day? Been doing smoothie for breakfast, soup for lunch all fresh whole foods but no weight loss. Anyone know how much vitamin K is in the green smoothie, I have to do low low K due to Coumadin? Anyone else do the green shakes on Coumadin?

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hello Theresa,You CAN have as much greens as you want even if you are on Coumadin HOWEVER (and this is IMPORTANT) you MUST work with your doctor and you MUST take the Greens in a MEASURED amount EVERY day. The amount and effects of the greens needs to be monitored by your doctor so the dose of coumadin can be adjusted accordingly.====================="If you eat spinach, turnip greens, other leafy greens, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, parsley (except as a garnish or minor ingredient), natto (a Japanese dish), liver, or green tea, be sure to eat a consistent amount week to week." http://my.clevelandclinic.org/drugs/coumadin/hic_understanding_coumadin.aspx=====================Here is information from another source that explains things better: http://www.skinnyisoverrated.com/2010/06/can-someone-who-takes-coumadin-warfarin-still-eat-greens/Can Someone Who Takes Coumadin (Warfarin) Still Eat Greens?June 7th, 2010dmilanoLeave a commentGo to commentsSomeone taking Coumadin wanted to know why her INR was so different every time she had it checked at her doctor’s office. It is probably because she ate different amounts of green leafy vegetables from day-to-day, and week-to-week. The Vitamin K in green vegetables counteracts the effect of the medication. Green leafy vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet, but doctors frequently tell their patients taking Coumadin to avoid greens. That is one way to deal with the problem. Or, you can eat greens, but you need to take in the same amount of Vitamin K every day so that the dose of Coumadin can be adjusted. Well, even people who love spinach will get tired of eating spinach every day. They might like to eat kale instead of spinach every once in a while!It is not easy, but it is possible, to eat the same amount of Vitamin K every day. It just takes a bit of extra thought when you are preparing your meals. The USDA web site has a list of the Vitamin K content of foods, so that you can estimate the amount of greens you can eat from day to day, and still keep your Vitamin K intake level. This first link is sorted by Vitamin K content , and this second link is sorted alphabetically.If you do choose to eats greens every day, take it seriously and be careful. There is a very, very good reason why you are on Coumadin, and it is simply not worth the risk if you cannot be consistent.=====================…and finally: http://www.pamf.org/anticoag/patients/handouts/Warfarin_and_Diet.pdf=====================Hope this is helpful!

Anyone know how much vitamin K is in the green smoothie, I have to do low low K due to Coumadin? Anyone else do the green shakes on Coumadin? Yes. When I first started with the doctor I have now he dictated a list of 6 items I could have. That soon got old and boring so I took in a list of greens and their vit K content (that I did because 5 of the ones he gave me were low in K but the 6th was spinach....I decided he had about the usual amount of education most MDs get in nutrition) and asked for edification....he stuttered around a while then sent me to the nutritionist and he and I worked together to both get the amount of K-containing greens up and a better, more palatable mix, then it was back to doctor to get Comadin info. You just have to take the initiative because they don't, but in the end there's a workable way to do it. I have a genetic clotting disorder so I end up with just about the same scenario every time I have to move and change doctors. There is a list here that is similar to the one I use: http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/food/vitamin-k-foods.htm SJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
