Re: warfarin AND aspirin / LJ

[Guest guest]

You are correct, I am surprised that it was suggested to use Coumadin

and Aspirin simultaneously. I was told to use Aspirin sparingly

while on Coumadin.

But my question was of a somewhat different nature. I would be

interested to know, whether any food was mentioned that enhances

Coumadin and therefore would show up when taking an INR reading.

:

The following foods/supplements are blood thinners: ginger, garlic

and gingko biloba.....(the three G's)...I use the first two but I no

nothing about the last so I am too scared to use the third.
